The research suggests that the gradual deterioration of this feedback loop contributes to the increasing health problems that are typical of natural aging.<\/p>\n<p>The study\u2014published in the journal Cell Metabolism\u2014has implications for developing future interventions that could maintain the feedback loop longer and slow the effects of advancing age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent years, research has begun to reveal that the lines of communication between the body\u2019s organs are key regulators of aging.
