Abstract:
The invention relates to agents for sequestering serum aging factors, and methods for using the same. More particularly, the invention relates to agents termed herein “Naractin” to denote any one of several naturally-occurring arNOX inhibitors either present in powder or capable of augmenting powder to an inhibitory level comparable to that of the fresh extracts, and to methods for using “Naractins” to prevent or treat disorders and complications of disorders resulting from cell damage caused by an aging-related isoform of NADH oxidase (arNOX). In one exemplary embodiment the agents of the invention comprise at least one naturally occurring Naractin. Such naturally occurring naractins are also capable of augmenting the anti-arNOX effect of other naturally occurring arNOX inhibitory agents.
