Nutritional hormesis and aging.
نویسنده
چکیده
Nutritional hormesis has the potential to serve as a pro-healthy aging intervention by reducing the susceptibility of the elderly to various chronic degenerative diseases and thereby extending human healthspan. Supportive evidence for nutritional hormesis arising from essential nutrients (vitamins and minerals), dietary pesticides (natural and synthetic), dioxin and other herbicides, and acrylamide will be reviewed and discussed.

1. Biological principles of aging and approaches for interventions
Aging can be understood at various levels, from evolutionary and biological to psychological and sociological levels. At the biological and molecular levels aging is characterized by the stochastic occurrence and accumulation of molecular damage. Damages in the maintenance and repair pathways comprising homeodynamic space lead to age-related failure of homeodynamics, increased molecular heterog...
متن کاملMolecular gerontology: from homeodynamics to hormesis.
The science and study of the biological basis of aging, biogerontology, is now a well-established field with solid scientific base. A paradigm-shift in gerontology has occurred by realising the fact that biological aging occurs in spite of the presence of complex homeodynamic pathways of maintenance, repair and defence, and there is no "enemy within". This viewpoint separates the modulation of ...
متن کاملAging, anti-aging, and hormesis.
As a result of almost 50 years of efforts in collecting descriptive data, biogerontologists are now able to construct general principles of aging and to explore possibilities of gerontomodulation. Most of the data indicate that aging is characterized by a stochastic accumulation of molecular damage and a progressive failure of maintenance and repair, and the genes involved in homeodynamic pathw...
متن کاملHormesis-based anti-aging products: a case study of a novel cosmetic.
Application of hormesis in aging research and interventions is becoming increasingly attractive and successful. The reason for this is the realization that mild stress-induced activation of one or more stress response (SR) pathways, and its consequent stimulation of repair mechanisms, is effective in reducing the age-related accumulation of molecular damage. For example, repeated heat stress-in...
متن کاملEstablishing cellular stress response profiles as biomarkers of homeodynamics, health and hormesis.
Aging is the progressive shrinkage of the homeodynamic space. A crucial component of the homeodynamic space is the stress response (SR), by virtue of which a living system senses disturbance and initiates a series of events for maintenance, repair, adaptation, remodeling and survival. Here we discuss the main intracellular SR pathways in human cells, and argue for the need to define and establi...
