Induction of autophagy by spermidine promotes longevity
2009
Administration of spermidine, a polyamine whose concentration declines during ageing, extends lifespan in yeast, flies, worms and in human immune cells. Spermidine prevents early oxidative stress and necrotic cell death and increases the expression of autophagy genes by inhibiting histone acetyltransferases action on histone H3.
