Abstract

This research unveils the possibility of a salmon sperm formula, called DNA drink, for anti-aging and anti-oxidation. The applications of salmon sperm have been rarely reported in scientific investigations if compared with salmon roe, but salmon sperm also contains copious nucleotides. Our experiments confirmed that the DNA drink could enhance the anti-oxidant ability and improve the expression levels of aging-related genes (CCT2, CCT6A, Atg1, Atg8, and SIRT1 genes) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). These results suggest the potential of salmon sperm for boosting cell vitality and protecting cells from oxidative damage.
