More evidence for longevity pathway

New research reinforces the claim that resveratrol—a compound found in plants and food groups, notably red wine—prolongs lifespan and health-span by boosting the activity of mitochondria, the cell's energy supplier.

"Without the mitochondria-boosting gene SIRT1, resveratrol does not work." The findings are to be published May 1 in the journal Cell Metabolism. Over the last decade, Sinclair and colleagues including Leonard Guarente ...
