    TLDR SkQ1 antioxidant improved health and lifespan in mice.
    The study demonstrated that treating mtDNA mutator mice with the mitochondrially targeted antioxidant SkQ1 significantly improved their health-span and lifespan. SkQ1 treatment delayed aging traits, improved heart, kidney, and liver pathologies, preserved mitochondrial ultrastructure, and enhanced mitochondrial function. Treated mice lived significantly longer (335 vs. 290 days) and showed reduced oxidative damage markers. The findings suggested that SkQ1 could mitigate mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, offering potential therapeutic benefits for age-related diseases and conditions linked to mitochondrial damage.

      PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment that inhibits mitochondrial pyruvate carriers, increasing lactate dehydrogenase activity and stimulating hair follicle stem cells. In a phase 1 trial, 31% of participants showed over 20% hair density increase with PP405 treatment.

      Rotenone, a natural plant extract, may promote hair growth by increasing LDH activity and blocking MPC in the scalp, but it carries risks due to its toxicity. The suggested formulation includes Barbasco extract, DMSO, propylene glycol or PEG-400, ethanol, and a carrier oil.
