Researchers have found that an important chemical compound, nitric oxide, appears to slow or reverse the aging of eggs in mouse ovaries. The finding suggests nitric oxide could one day help women in their 30s and 40s remain fertile longer and increase their chances of having healthy babies, the scientists say. The finding, by investigators at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, was published in the Aug. 30 issue of Biochemistry, an American Chemical Society journal.
