Longevity-promoting properties of ginger extract inCaenorhabditis elegans viathe insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway

Abstract

Ginger is a traditional medicinal and edible plant with multiple health-promoting properties.

In Vitro and In Vivo Insights into a Broccoli Byproduct as a Healthy Ingredient for the Management of Alzheimer’s Disease and Aging through Redox Biology

“…Lipofuscin acts as proteasome inhibitor by directly binding on proteasome complexes. Consequently, processes unrelated to ROS are also linked to lipofuscin accumulation, including autophagy. , Therefore, that kind of process may be altered in aged worms, which may not be modulated by BRO, explaining the noneffect observed in lipofuscin content. No data on broccoli or its byproducts have been found; however, other treatments, such as strawberry extract, partially prevented the accumulation of this pigment at the same concentration as BRO, probably mediated by anthocyanins …”

Ceramides from Sea Red Rice Bran Improve Health Indicators and Increase Stress Resistance of Caenorhabditis elegans through Insulin/IGF-1 Signaling (IIS) Pathway and JNK-1

“…In addition, the cellular antioxidant defense system requires the participation of antioxidant enzymes, such as SOD and CAT. 41 To test this contention, we evaluated enzyme activity indicators in nematodes fed Cers. We found that the relative expression of enzyme activities in C. elegans showed an increasing trend, implying that Cers accelerated the defense mechanisms of C. elegans, thereby preventing or delaying the denaturation of proteins when exposed to external stimuli such as heat stress.…”

In addition, the cellular antioxidant defense system requires the participation of antioxidant enzymes, such as SOD and CAT .

EGCG Alleviates the Aging Toxicity Induced by 3-MCPD via IIS Pathway in Caenorhabditis elegans with Abnormal Reproduction and Heat Shock Protein

“…The 50 μM DCFH-DA was added and incubated for 30 min at 37 °C. Then, the ROS level was measured using a microplate reader (Thermo, China) (Ex: 485 nm; Em: 535 nm) (Varioskan Flash, Thermo) . The same treatment with 50 N2 nematodes per well, and lipofuscin accumulation level were measured using the microplate reader (Ex: 350 nm; Em: 460 nm) …”
