It is Time to Thoroughly Study the Effects of Mild Stress in Rodents, but also in Human Beings

| Summary: | Many experiments on the effect of mild stress on aging have been done in invertebrates, but not in mammals.

Particularly, one may wonder whether heat shocks could be of some use in therapy or as an integrated part of daily life of elderly people. However, the top priority is probably to study more thoroughly the effects of mild stress in rodents, and not only in invertebrates. |
