Molecular Evidence of Heat Stress Damage to Gut, Liver, and Brain in Elderly Mice

Researchers from the University of California, Irvine have discovered molecular evidence of the damaging impact heat stress has on the gut, liver, and brain in elderly mice. The study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, is one of the first to investigate the effects of heat stress on the gut-liver-brain communication or “axis” at a molecular level, potentially leading to the development of precise prognostic and therapeutic interventions.
