> That would work. THe problem is, my "study" is far too small (10 mice
in all) to come up with significant data. As I explained in an earlier
posting, I designed this study to come up with pilot data to prompt
researchers in the field to do it in a full-scale version. I cannot
believe that no U.S. researchers have conducted an anti-aging experiment
involving melatonin --- all the while they cast aspersions upon the
studies done outside the U.S.
