They are born during the rainy season, and before the drought they need time to mature and lay eggs. It seems that if fate were more favorable, the tropical fish would live longer, but even here, in ideal conditions of the aquarium, its age is not complete, this gave scientists an idea. Osteoporosis, in which the fish begin to hunch over. Good gyroprotectors should combat this. Here, in particular, immunosuppressants are considered as such compounds, that is, substances that suppress the immune response. One of the key the most common hypothesis of aging in our time is the hypothesis associated with the fact that in old age the body begins to nonspecifically activate the immune system against its own components, that is, when.
