L-Deprenyl has been widely used as a B-type monoamine oxidase (MAO-B) inhibitor in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. The ability of L-Deprenyl to effectively reduce the extent of dopamine breakdown in the brain allows for the slower progression of symptoms. Remarkably, early studies on rats have revealed a significant life prolonging potential of the drug. The antioxidant-eliciting functions by L-Deprenyl have been implicated as a possible mechanism to its positive influence on longevity, supported by the Free Radical Theory of Aging. The current study will further test the multiple effects that L-Deprenyl has on antioxidant levels, cognition, growth, maturation and the overall aging process throughout the lifespan of Acheta domesticus,
