Longevity and skeletal muscle mass: the role of IGF signalling, the sirtuins, dietary restriction and protein intake

AP Sharples, DC Hughes, CS Deane, A Saini… - Aging cell, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Advancing age is associated with a progressive loss of skeletal muscle (SkM) mass and
function. Given the worldwide aging demographics, this is a major contributor to morbidity …

Sex differences in longevity and in responses to anti-aging interventions: a mini-review

SN Austad, A Bartke - Gerontology, 2015 - karger.com
A robust, often underappreciated, feature of human biology is that women live longer than

Reduced expression of MYC increases longevity and enhances healthspan

JW Hofmann, X Zhao, M De Cecco, AL Peterson… - Cell, 2015 - cell.com
MYC is a highly pleiotropic transcription factor whose deregulation promotes cancer. In
contrast, we find that Myc haploinsufficient (Myc+/–) mice exhibit increased lifespan. They …

[HTML][HTML] Dual mTORC1/C2 inhibitors suppress cellular geroconversion (a senescence program)

OV Leontieva, ZN Demidenko, MV Blagosklonny - Oncotarget, 2015 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
In proliferating cells, mTOR is active and promotes cell growth. When the cell cycle is
arrested, then mTOR converts reversible arrest to senescence (geroconversion). Rapamycin …

Mitochondrial maintenance failure in aging and role of sexual dimorphism

J Tower - Archives of biochemistry and biophysics, 2015 - Elsevier
Gene expression changes during aging are partly conserved across species, and suggest
that oxidative stress, inflammation and proteotoxicity result from mitochondrial malfunction …

Nutrigerontology: why we need a new scientific discipline to develop diets and guidelines to reduce the risk of aging‐related diseases

K Verburgh - Aging Cell, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Many diets and nutritional advice are circulating, often based on short‐or medium‐term
clinical trials and primary outcomes, like changes in LDL cholesterol or weight. It remains …
