A small clinical trial showed HAT therapy improved survival but no studies have been reported in animal models to examine potential mechanisms. ⋯ Physiologic parameters accurately predicted mortality. Die-P mice had significant oxidative stress compared with Live-P. HAT therapy significantly decreased oxidative stress, increased HR, and improved survival in the Die-P mice. These data suggest that HAT exerts a beneficial effect through reducing oxidative stress and improving cardiovascular function.
