Abstract
The metabolic rate of aged cells of a mammalian host is enhanced without a concomitant increase in metabolic production of reactive oxygen species by orally administering to the host an effective dosage of a carnitine, such as acetyl-L-carnitine, and a mitochondrially active antioxidant, such as lipoic acid.
