Article Synopsis
- Sesamin, a compound in sesame seeds, has been shown to increase the lifespan of the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans, prompting research into its molecular mechanisms.
- The study involved feeding C. elegans a diet supplemented with sesamin and analyzing gene expression changes using microarray and real-time PCR techniques.
- Findings revealed that sesamin's lifespan-extending effects depend on specific signaling pathways like SIRT1, TOR, and AMPK, as it was ineffective in mutants lacking these pathways.
