A recent study published in Nature Communications highlights how a protein called OSER1, regulated by FOXO transcription factors, could help protect cells from oxidative stress and potentially extend lifespan. Oxidative stress occurs when there is an excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS), damaging cells and leading to aging-related diseases like cancer, heart disease, and neurodegenerative disorders.
NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) is a crucial molecule involved in various cellular processes, including energy production, DNA repair, and cellular defense mechanisms. As we age, NAD levels naturally decline, which can lead to a range of age-related diseases and conditions. A recent study published in Cell has highlighted the significant benefits of NAD precursor supplements, which can help to restore NAD levels and improve overall health. NAD precursors such as nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) are compounds that the body can convert into NAD.
In the quest for healthy weight management and longevity, the scientific community has been relentlessly exploring various compounds that can aid in these goals. One such compound that has garnered significant attention is BAM15. This mitochondrial uncoupler has shown promising results in preclinical studies regarding weight reduction and lifespan extension. Here, we delve into the mechanisms by which it operates and the potential implications of its use.
