Improving overall health and quality of life, preventing diseases and increasing life expectancy are key concerns in the field of public health. The search for antioxidants that can inhibit oxidative damage in cells has received a lot of attention. Rosmarinus officinalis L. represents an exceptionally rich source of bioactive compounds with pharmacological properties. In the present study, we explored the effects of the ethanolic extract of R. officinalis (eeRo) on stress resistance and longevity using the non-parasitic nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model. We report for the first time that eeRo increased resistance against oxidative and thermal stress and extended C. elegans longevity in an insulin/IGF signaling pathway-dependent manner. These data emphasize the eeRo beneficial effects on C. elegans under stress.
改善整体健康和生活质量、预防疾病以及延长预期寿命是公共卫生领域的关键关注点。寻找能够抑制细胞氧化损伤的抗氧化剂受到了广泛关注。迷迭香叶是一种富含具有药理特性的生物活性化合物的特殊来源。在本研究中,我们以非寄生线虫秀丽隐杆线虫为模型,探讨了迷迭香叶乙醇提取物(eeRo)对压力抗性和寿命的影响。我们首次报告,eeRo以胰岛素/胰岛素样生长因子信号通路依赖的方式增加了对氧化和热应激的抗性,并延长了秀丽隐杆线虫的寿命。这些数据强调了eeRo在压力条件下对秀丽隐杆线虫的有益作用。
