Lifespan experiments for interventions like sulforaphane are typically conducted in mice or C. elegans.

“The prolonged lifespan experiments will pretty much have to be done in mice. And again, there is someone at the...there's a colleague that I know we've talked to at the Institute of Aging who was interested in doing that. I'm not sure if that ever happened. I had a high school student who wanted to do a project here a number of years ago and we got her working on nematodes, Caernorhabditis, which is a common experimental vehicle for those interested in looking at lifespan because its lifespan is so short and it cycles quickly.”
