Black tea polyphenols mimic insulin/insulin‐like growth factor‐1 signalling to the longevity factor FOXO1a
13 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
In vertebrates and invertebrates, relationships between diet and health are controlled by a conserved signalling pathway responsive to insulin-like ligands. In invertebrate models for example, forkhead transcription factor family O (FOXO) transcription factors in this pathway regulate the rate of aging in response to dietary cues, and in vertebrates, obesity and age-induced deficits in the same pathway are...
