Key Takeaway
Comprehensive review of HBOT mechanisms for anti-aging, including effects on telomeres, senescence, stem cells, and neuroplasticity.
Summary
This 2024 review article comprehensively examines the mechanisms by which HBOT may promote regeneration and combat aging.
Key mechanisms reviewed:
- Hyperoxia-hypoxia paradox and HIF-1α activation
- Telomere lengthening effects
- Senescent cell clearance
- Stem cell mobilization
- Angiogenesis and neurogenesis
- Mitochondrial biogenesis
The authors conclude HBOT has enormous potential in regenerative and anti-aging therapy.
