An ongoing clinical study at Columbia is looking into low dose rapamycin’s ability to delay ovary aging in humans and in turn delay menopause and reduce symptoms.
“We’ll be measuring over this time different measures of ovarian reserve and function. We chose that age group specifically because that’s the age at which there’s still a good ovarian reserve, but it still would be helpful for them to be able to delay aging,” Williams explained.
While monitoring the speed of aging in general can be difficult as it takes place over many years and there aren’t blood or imaging tests, Williams is optimistic about this study as ovarian aging, specifically, is easier to track. By delaying the onset of menopause, symptoms would be greatly reduced and lifespan could be extended.
