Greenland Shark's Metabolic Stability May Unlock Longevity Secrets
Research reveals that the world's longest-living vertebrate maintains consistent enzyme activity, offering potential insights for human heart health and species conservation.
- Greenland sharks live up to 500 years, with stable metabolism contributing to their longevity.
- Studies show no significant change in muscle enzyme activity with age in these sharks.
- Understanding these metabolic adaptations could improve human cardiovascular health.
- Climate change threatens the Greenland shark's habitat, complicating conservation efforts.
- Research findings will be presented at the Society for Experimental Biology's annual conference.
