Mediterranean diet may activate tiny proteins that protect the heart and brain
A Mediterranean-style diet may slow aging by triggering the release of mitochondrial microproteins humanin and SHMOOSE, according to a study from the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology. Researchers found that these proteins act as molecular messengers, potentially protecting the heart and brain from neurodegeneration and cardiovascular disease. How Mitochondrial Microproteins Influence Cellular Aging Mitochondria … Read more
