Effects of long-term Hydergine administration on lipofuscin accumulation in senescent rat brain.

abstract：:Over the past decades, information about the characteristics of attractiveness has accumulated. We know about eight pillars of beauty, among them youthfulness, symmetry, hormone markers and body odor. But what is the biological function of these attractive signals? Is there one common function to be found in all eight...
