Researchers identify enzyme that holds key to living longer through calorie restriction
Restricting calorie intake has been shown to delay the aging process and the enzyme Prx1 has been identified as playing a major role
Article Summary
Studies have shown that restricting the intake of calories without reducing the intake of vitamins and minerals slows the signs of aging in a wide range of animals including monkeys, rats and fish, and even some fungi. More recent studies provide evidence that calorie restriction can also have the same effect on humans and now researchers at the University of Gothenburg have identified one of the enzymes they claim plays a major role in the aging process.
