Energy Metabolism and Aging

Aging is strongly related to energy metabolism, but the underlying processes and mechanisms are complex incompletely understood. Restricting intake reducing metabolic rate can slow of aging extend longevity, implying a reciprocal relationship between metabolism life expectancy. However, increased expenditure has also been associated with improved health longer life. In both experimental animals humans, reduced body temperature extended longevity. recent findings on function thermogenic (brown or beige) adipose tissue produced intense interest in increasing amount expended for thermogenesis prevent and/or treat obesity, improve health, Evidence available to-date indicates that by pharmacologic, environmental, genetic interventions indeed produce significant benefits, which chances healthy long
