Described herein are the results of comprehensive genetic expression and other molecular analysis of the effect of antioxidants on biological systems, including specifically different human cells. Based on these analyses, methods and compositions are described for modifying or influencing the lifespan of cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. In various embodiments, there are provided methods for modulating the activity of the gene maintenance process in order to influence the length and/or structural integrity of the telomere in living cells, as well as methods for modulating the rate/efficiency of the cellular respiration provided by the mitochondria, mitochondrial biogenesis, and maintenance of the mitochondrial membrane potential. Exemplary lifespan altering compounds include natural and synthetic antioxidants, such as plant antioxidant and polyphenol compounds derived from coffee cherry, tea, berry, and so forth, including but not limited to caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, quinic acid, proanthocyanidins, ubiquinone, idebenone, or a synthetic form or derivatives thereof.
本文介绍了抗氧化剂对生物系统的全面基因表达和其他分子分析的结果,包括特定的不同人类细胞。根据这些分析,描述了用于修改或影响细胞、组织、器官和生物体寿命的方法和组合物。在各种实施例中,提供了用于调节基因维护过程活性的方法,以影响活细胞端粒的长度和/或结构完整性,以及调节线粒体提供的细胞呼吸速率/效率、线粒体生物发生和线粒体膜电位维护的方法。示例寿命改变化合物包括天然和合成抗氧化剂,例如从咖啡樱桃、茶、浆果等中提取的植物抗氧化剂和多酚化合物,包括但不限于咖啡酸、绿原酸、阿魏酸、奎尼酸、原花青素、泛醌、伊德贝醌或其合成形式或衍生物。
