Experiments carried out on 28-month-old Wistar rats determine the effect of repeated regimes of enterosorption on the mean and maximum life span and on certain functional and metabolic indicators. At certain regimes, there is an increase in the mean and maximum life span. In the experimental group, the changes that occur with age in the structure and ultrastructure of the liver, kidneys, myocardium, intestine, and pancreas are less pronounced than in the control group. Enterosorption acts to reduce the duration of pentobarbitol-induced sleep and to lower the quantity of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, triglycerides in the heart and brain, and cholesterol and triglycerides in the liver. Enterosorption also increases the biosynthesis of ribonucleic acid and protein in the liver, kidneys, and adrenal glands of old animals.
