Abstract excerpt
Olfaction is closely associated with aging, whereas the impact of repeated olfactory stimulation on aging process remains unclear. Therefore, we attempt to examine the anti-aging effects of the odors generated by the Maillard reaction (MR) in Caenorhabditis elegans. Chemotaxis assays revealed that nematodes were attracted to MR odors, which was abolished in the odr-3 loss-of-function mutant. These results...
