Classically, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were largely thought to be relatively inert
structural components of brain, largely important for the formation of cellular membranes …

A large amount of the longevity-modulating genes discovered during the last two decades
are highly conserved during evolution from yeast and invertebrates to mammals. Many …

In biological systems lipids generate membranes and have a key role in cell signaling and
energy storage. Therefore, there is a wide diversity of molecular lipid expressed at the …

The fatty acid profile of cells in culture are unlike those of natural cells with twice the
monounsaturated (MUFA) and half the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) level (Mol%). This …

One of the challenges facing science/biology today is uncovering the molecular bases that
support and determine animal and human longevity. Nature, in offering a diversity of animal …

Skeletal muscle mitochondria are highly dynamic and are capable of tremendous expansion
to meet cellular energetic demands. Such proliferation in mitochondrial mass requires a …

Lipids were determinants in the appearance and evolution of life. Recent studies disclose
the existence of a link between lipids and animal longevity. Findings from both comparative …

Squalene is a key minor component of virgin olive oil, the main source of fat in the
Mediterranean diet, and had shown to improve the liver metabolism in rabbits and mice. The …

The loss of skeletal muscle mass and function with age (sarcopenia) is a critical healthcare
challenge for older adults. 31‐phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P‐MRS) is …

Honey bees have evolved a system in which fertilised eggs transit through the same
developmental stages but can become either workers or queens. This difference is …
