Spermidine Promotes Cardioprotective Autophagy.
Background Our population is aging—shifting in distribution toward older age—at an unprecedented pace. Based on US population reports, the percentage of people aged >65 years is estimated to increase from 13.4% in 2012 to 19.3% in 2030. And as aging is the greatest risk factor for major life-threatening disorders, including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic syndromes, and...
متن کاملAutophagy and Longevity
Autophagy is an evolutionally conserved cytoplasmic degradation system in which varieties of materials are sequestered by a double membrane structure, autophagosome, and delivered to the lysosomes for the degradation. Due to the wide varieties of targets, autophagic activity is essential for cellular homeostasis. Recent genetic evidence indicates that autophagy has a crucial role in the regulat...
متن کاملRenewed Interest in Kefir, the Ancient Elixir of Longevity
Kefir is an Old World food that has been attributed with exceptional health promoting and curative properties since the beginning of recorded history. It is a tangy, slightly fizzy (about 1% alcohol), fermented milk beverage that looks a little like yogurt. It is rich in protein, calcium, vitamin B12, niacin, and folic acid. Kefir and yogurt were popular at the turn of the 20th century, when sc...
متن کاملWIPI-Mediated Autophagy and Longevity
Autophagy is a lysosomal degradation process for cytoplasmic components, including organelles, membranes, and proteins, and critically secures eukaryotic cellular homeostasis and survival. Moreover, autophagy-related (ATG) genes are considered essential for longevity control in model organisms. Central to the regulatory relationship between autophagy and longevity is the control of insulin/insu...
متن کاملThe human CD5L/AIM-CD36 axis: A novel autophagy inducer in macrophages that modulates inflammatory responses
CD5L (CD5 molecule-like) is a secreted glycoprotein that participates in host response to bacterial infection. CD5L influences the monocyte inflammatory response to the bacterial surface molecules lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and lipoteichoic acid (LTA) by inhibiting TNF secretion. Here we studied the intracellular events that lead to macrophage TNF inhibition by human CD5L. To accomplish this goal...
