Rilmenidine mimics caloric restriction via the nischarin I1-imidazoline receptor to extend lifespan in <i>C. elegans</i>
2021-10-15
Abstract excerpt
Caloric restriction increases lifespan across species and has health benefits in humans. Because complying with a low-calorie diet is challenging, here we investigated pharmacological interventions mimicking the benefits of caloric restriction. Searching for compounds that elicit a similar gene expression signature to caloric restriction, we identified rilmenidine, an I1-imidazoline receptor agonist and prescripti...
