H2S: A New Approach to Lifespan Enhancement and Healthy Ageing?

Abstract: Ageing, a progressive structural and functional decline, is considered to be a major risk factor for virtually all ageing-associated pathologies and disabilities, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke, diabetes, atherosclerosis and certain cancers. Biogerontology research has now been largely directed towards finding novel drug targets to decelerate the ageing process and attain healthy ageing in order to delay the onset of all ageing-related diseases. H2S has been reported to exert vasodi… Show more

“…Aging is the progressive loss of physiological function which emerges when organisms grow older, with death of the organism as the ultimate, inevitable consequence [1, 3, 11]. Classic symptoms of human aging include graying and loss of hair, loss of hearing and eyesight, reduced fertility, immune system failure and loss of cognition [2].…”

“…A variety of molecular, biochemical and metabolic alterations occurring at the cellular level are thought to cause these functional losses [2]. For many years, aging research was largely focused on identifying the underlying cellular mechanisms as to find novel drug targets to modulate the aging process and to attain healthy aging by delaying the onset of age-related pathologies [3]. This approach has led to some unsubstantiated and opposing claims for potential cures as opposed to disease-oriented research [14].…”

“…In the brain, H 2 S is an important neuroprotective agent and has therapeutic potential in neurodegenerative diseases of aging, such as AD and PD [10,11]. Recently, H 2 S was identifiedas a new approach to Ivyspring International Publisher prolong lifespan [12]. H 2 S inhibits the production of mitochondrial ROS [13], decreases oxidative stress [14,15], and repairs DNA damage [16] to protect cells from senescence.…”
