Rejuvenating Eggs From Older Women

Can this be true? It may be true, at least in mice.

A study being conducted in mice indicate that administering coenzyme Q10 to one-year old mice-the equivalent to women in their 40s-for three to four months significantly increased the number of ovulated eggs as well as the number of successful pregnancies. The treated mice also had an average of 11 pups per litter compared to six per litter in age-matched controls. The Toronto team is now conducting human trials.
