What Metabolism Reveals About Aging and Mortality
Reading Time: 2 minutes Lifespan length has proven to be a continuing source of mystery. Why do some people enjoy living for decades and others are not so fortunate? Up until recently, the answer has been elusive. However, based on a recent study of a lowly worm, research scientists have leaped one giant step closer to understanding longevity: METABOLISM. Their report in the American Chemical Society's (ACS) Journal of Proteome Research details how the metabolic profile of worms can accurately predict how long they can live, and that middle age is a particularly important turning point. The importance of this study is two-fold. In...
