Alpha-ketoglutarate ameliorates age-related osteoporosis via regulating histone methylations

α-ketoglutarate is an intermediate of the Krebs Cycle that was recently reported to extend lifespan in C.Elegans. Here, the authors show that administration of α-ketoglutarate to mice reduces age-related bone loss, by ameliorating senescence of bone-marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells.
