Klotho is a longevity-associated protein. More of it extends life span in mice, and higher levels correlate with human health in later life. Klotho improves kidney function in older individuals, and improves cognitive function at any age, but it is far from clear as to which of the many aspects of cellular biochemistry and systemic function affected by klotho are most important in longevity, and how they interact. It may be the case that a reduced level of chronic inflammation is an important effect that h…
Higher Serum Klotho Correlates with Lower Systemic Inflammation
