Thank you to numerous posters for much great information.
I ordered 10gr of C60 back when the rat study first surfaced.
thoughts: perhaps the Fullerene structure acts as a carrier to transport critical ions, such as Managanese, or charged molecules, into locations in the body that are normally difficult to access. Thought 2: Perhaps the Fullerene structure acts as scaffolding for the construction of Autophagsomes

Here's the thing about this thread. It's the Wonderland hole that Alice crawled into. You know the folks deeper in the hole are batsh*t crazy. (As Mind said early on: "HELLO!!! This is a study with 6 rats!") But the discussion is interesting and the more you listen in, the less crazy it all sounds. And Turnbuckle's frickin' bald spot is fillin' in for gosh sakes...
I grew up camping and I've sat around some campfires. I'm thinking that this can't be more dangerous that ingesting a bit of soot. Right?
Your post was the kick in the pants I needed to buy 10g also. It's done. Not sure when I'll start... Thanks.
It's good to share hypothetical explanation ideas about the study result. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts...

About your first thought... Based on a discussion between niner and Turnbuckle, I'd been thinking that the C60s afforded greater (and longer lasting?) affinity to mitochondria. I've also imagined that the study solvent provided "the potion" with an affinity for the cell types that Olive Oil had an affinity for. That's how I've imagined it. I have no idea if this is a "correct" way to imagine it.
But given this imagining... I've been thinking about a mix of oils. Not MCT... I've been saying in my posts that, if the solvent is important at all, then it makes sense to use a 5-Lipoxygenase Inflammatory Cascade Inhibitor. The most profound of these inhibitors have been shown to have (de)methylating effects. (And, in fact, I'm pretty sure I experienced such an effect using very high dose Boswellia a few years ago.)
So that means Omega 3 (EPA/DHA), Boswellia, etc. So how about 25% Olive Oil, 25% EPA/DHA, and fill in the rest. Alternate the potion taken on different dose days.
Here's a question for the more informed science types.... How might the "the potion" be effected if an additional substance was added to it. Say, Curcumin, Boswellia (AKBA), or Resveratrol Powder added to the Olive Oil in addition to the Fullerenes?
Thoughts? Especially from you, Turnbuckle...
