University of California Irvine Researcher Reveals New Findings on Geriatrics and Gerontology (Interaction of Spermidine And A Low-methionine Diet on Lifespan in Mtdna-deficient Saccharomyces Cerevisiae).

A recent study conducted at the University of California Irvine explored the impact of spermidine and a low-methionine diet on lifespan in yeast models with mitochondrial dysfunction. The research found that while spermidine and low-methionine treatment could extend the lifespan of wild-type yeast, it had differing effects on yeast lacking mtDNA. The study suggests that mitochondrial function plays a significant role in the ability of these treatments to modulate lifespan, with potential implications for geriatrics and gerontology research.
