Scientists have produced a group of ultra-fit, highly sexed, long-lived mice. Does it mean we are on the brink of creating equally amazing superhumans Professor Richard Hanson and his team at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, thought they had embarked upon an interesting but routine experiment. They had an enzyme – PEPCK-C – that had been discovered 50 years earlier at their university. It occurs in all animals and appears mainly in their livers and kidneys where it is associated with the production of glucose. But there is also some in the muscles. Wondering what it did there, Hanson and his team decided to see what happened if they massively increased the amount of PEPCK-C in the muscles of mice.
