The triage theory (Ames, BN (2006) PNAS 103-‐17589-‐94) posits that the spectrum of functions for a particular vitamin or mineral (V/M) are managed by the organism such that, when micronutrient availability is limited, functions required for short-‐term survival take precedence over functions whose loss can be better tolerated (e.g. by ...

Dr. Bruce Ames in his 2006 paper, where he proposed the Triage Theory, talks about how old rats create more oxidative by-products (waste material) and decreased function. But when you feed acetyl carnitine (ACL) and lipoic acid (LA) to old rats, they get most of their mitochondrial function back.
Apr 12, 2023 · Recently, he released his groundbreaking Triage Theory – an explanation of how nutrient deficiencies promote aging and reduce longevity. Dr. Ames postulates that proteins and enzymes in the body are classified into two classes, according to their importance to our immediate survival and reproduction versus long-term health.
