Fasting recovers age-related hypertension in the rats: reset of renal renin-angiotensin system components and klotho.
Abstract
The renal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a vital part in the control of blood pressure and is known to be affected by aging. This study aimed to investigate the effects of intermittent fasting on age-related hypertension and the expression of local renal RAS components.

Research summary
The paper investigates the effects of intermittent fasting on age-related hypertension, which is a significant aspect of aging and its associated diseases. By focusing on the renal renin-angiotensin system and its role in blood pressure regulation, the study touches on mechanisms that could be linked to longevity. However, the findings appear to be more of a solid research contribution rather than a groundbreaking advance in the field of longevity research.
