AB  - Dramatic rectal temperature decrease, in mice administered with a drug that specifically inhibits F1F0 ATP hydrolysis, suggests that F1F0 ATP hydrolysis is a major determinant of metabolic rate in vivo. Across twelve investigated species, less F1F0 ATP hydrolysis correlates with greater maximal lifespan. Specific drug inhibition of F1F0 ATP hydrolysis exerts potent anti-cancer activity in vitro.Competing Interest StatementThe author has filed for related patents.
