Epicatechin modulates stress-resistance in <i>C. elegans</i> via Insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway
2018-06-11
Abstract excerpt
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been used to examine the influence of epicatechin (EC), an abundant flavonoid in the human diet, in some stress biomarkers (ROS production, lipid peroxidation and protein carbonylation). Furthermore, the ability of EC to modulate the expression of some key genes in the insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway (IIS), involved in longevity and oxidative or heat shock stress response,...
