Treating aging: progress toward dietary restriction mimetics
During the last decade, biogerontologists have labored to understand the biological basis of the aging process by studying the genes and signaling pathways that regulate it. But the last year has seen a breakthrough in a different direction: toward treatments that might slow aging by mimicking the effects of dietary restriction.
متن کاملDietary Restriction and Nutrient Balance in Aging
Dietary regimens that favour reduced calorie intake delay aging and age-associated diseases. New evidences revealed that nutritional balance of dietary components without food restriction increases lifespan. Particular nutrients as several nitrogen sources, proteins, amino acid, and ammonium are implicated in life and healthspan regulation in different model organisms from yeast to mammals. Agi...
متن کاملDietary restriction with and without caloric restriction for healthy aging
Caloric restriction is the most effective and reproducible dietary intervention known to regulate aging and increase the healthy lifespan in various model organisms, ranging from the unicellular yeast to worms, flies, rodents, and primates. However, caloric restriction, which in most cases entails a 20-40% reduction of food consumption relative to normal intake, is a severe intervention that re...
متن کاملCaloric restriction and its mimetics
Caloric restriction is the most reliable intervention to prevent age-related disorders and extend lifespan. The reduction of calories by 10-30% compared to an ad libitum diet is known to extend the longevity of various species from yeast to rodents. The underlying mechanisms by which the benefits of caloric restriction occur have not yet been clearly defined. However, many studies are being con...
متن کاملCaloric restriction mimetics: metabolic interventions.
Caloric restriction (CR) retards diseases and aging in laboratory rodents and is now being tested in nonhuman primates. One way to apply these findings to human health is to identify and test agents that may mimic critical actions of CR. Panel 2 focused on two outcomes of CR, reduction of oxidative stress and improved glucoregulation, for which candidate metabolic mimics exist. It was recommend...
