The metabolic regulation of aging

Finkel, Toren·2015·Nature Medicine

Abstract

Here we review the environmental and genetic manipulations that link cellular and organismal metabolism to aging. In particular, we explore how nutrients are sensed and how various intracellular energy nodes seem to coordinate distinct metabolic alterations linked to extended longevity. In addition, the role of mitochondria as both a metabolic and signaling organelle is discussed. Finally, we review a host of new targeted pharmacological approaches that attempt to exploit the connection between aging and metabolism to treat a wide range of age-related diseases. Together, these insights are beginning to reveal answers to century-old mysteries and are providing a future road map for the rational extension of lifespan.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
