Abstract excerpt
We recently published that phycocyanin, a phycobiliprotein which accounts for up to 20% of Arthrospira platensis dry weight, has a powerful anti-aging effect, greatly extending the chronological life span (CLS) of yeast cells grown in synthetic-defined medium, both under caloric restriction (CR) conditions (0.2% glucose) or under non-CR conditions (2% glucose). In this study, to explore the molecular mechanisms...
