Summary

This is a study assessing the feasibility of performing an anti-aging intervention which is a combination of an exercise regimen, spermidine supplementation, and either rapamycin or lamivudine.

Conditions

  • Smokers
  • Former Smokers

Interventions

DRUG

lamivudine

Lamivudine (Epivir) is a drug used typically to treat HIV and Hepatitis B Virus (HBV). It has not been studied when given in combination with spermidine.

DRUG

rapamycin

Rapamycin (Rapamune, Sirolimus) is an FDA-approved drug and indicated for use as an immune modulator.

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise Regimen

All experimental groups will receive an exercise regimen combining high-intensity interval training (HIIT) (targeting aerobic fitness) and resistance training (targeting strength and skeletal muscle mass preservation). The HIIT exercise component will consist of 2 sessions per week totaling 20 minutes per session. The resistance training component will consist of 3 sessions per week totaling 40 minutes per session.

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Spermidine

Spermidine is a polyamine that forms naturally in plants, animals, and microorganisms as a byproduct of protein breakdown. Participants will take an oral dosage of 2mg/day for 180 days.
