Or short naps?

Roth and colleagues ruled out hydrogen sulfide’s influence on each of these pathways. Instead, they suspect it acts through a different mechanism. One theory is that exposure to H2S naturally regulates the activity of a gene called SIR-2.1, which has been shown to influence life span in many organisms, including the nematode. Previous studies have found that over-expression of this gene increases the longevity of C. elegans by 18 percent to 20 percent.

Those that could afford to drop out of society for several weeks at a time could ...
I feel bad giving this idea away, but the hibernation news is spreading and I doubt I'll get to it anywhere any time soon.]]> hydrogen sulfide and longevity http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=140&Focus=4088#Comment_4088 2007-12-04T11:59:21-08:00 2013-05-20T10:50:47-07:00 screaming meat http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1219 So we do a line of powdered hydrogen sulfide and head for the moon... hmm... ...sounds kind of familiar....
