Small Furry Mammals Live Longer

Small furry mammals partial to a daily dose of hibernation during the winter are probably the extension of life at the same time, according to a study published.

Experiments with native Siberian hamsters Djugarian showed that when small rodents temporarily lower your metabolism and body temperature, a state called torpor, stops and even reverses a natural decomposition of chromosomes associated with aging.

Each time a cell divides, the telomeres are worn a bit small. The work of the enzyme is partially reconstructed. Finally, when telomeres are worn beyond repair, cell death is triggered.

Telomeres and telomerase, the enzyme that control, are key players in aging and longevity.

Each time a cell divides, the telomeres are worn a bit small. The work of the enzyme is partially reconstructed. Finally, when telomeres are worn beyond repair, cell death is triggered.

Australian-American cell biologist Elizabeth Blackburn, who shared the 2009 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his work in the field, the telomeres is similar to the "tip of the shoelace" - loses its final plastic and lace begins to unravel.

For hamsters, daily torpor, which usually lasts several hours, in some way acted to preserve these safety tips, and even for the restoration

Butterfly Flowers with wings

Butterflies are one of the most beautiful creations of nature. Known as "flowers with wings", most other creatures are attracted to these colorful creatures. There are about 17,000 species of butterflies in the world. India is one of the 17 "mega diverse" world, is home to a spectacular number of butterflies, around 1,800 species. About 15-20 percent of these are endemic in India



Can be found anywhere in the world, in cities, towns, villages, fields, forests, deserts, swamps, and even in the snowy mountains! However, we see butterflies in abundance in most of these places, despite many flowering plants that are present. Only certain plants attract butterflies.

Butterflies are adults, the phase of flight of insects belonging to an order called Lepidoptera. The word "Lepidoptera" means "scaly wings" in Greek.

The butterflies feed on nectar from flowers, animal droppings and even sweat. A butterfly also the needs of salts in the soil, so they often sit in damp spots to take in salts from the soil.

Some love butterflies feed on rotting fruit and even a little alcohol. These beautiful insects in pollination and help play an important role in the food chain because they are food for lizards, birds and many other creatures.
