Methionine Restriction Extends Life in Flies
Recent research has shown that methionine restriction (MetR) can extend the lifespan of flies. This finding is significant as it highlights the impact of specific amino acids on longevity and health. MetR has been found to induce the expression of longevity-related genes and reduce oxidatively-damaged methionine. The study also suggests that nutrient restriction during a specific period of life can be sufficient for extending healthspan. For more details, you can refer to the research article here.
