Banana peels, often discarded as waste, represent one of the most abundant food by-products, highlighting the need for effective waste management and resource recycling strategies. Due to their rich nutritional content, banana peels have been investigated for various health benefits, including anti-obesity effects. In this study, we examined the potential anti-aging properties of banana peel extracts (BPEs) in . Our findings demonstrated that flies fed with BPEs exhibited an extended lifespan and a significant improvement in age-related decline in climbing ability. Additionally, mRNA expression level is markedly decreased in aged flies fed with BPEs. These results suggest that BPEs may serve as a potential anti-aging agent by enhancing locomotor function and extending lifespan, potentially through the modulation of insulin signaling in .
香蕉皮常被当作废物丢弃,却是最丰富的食品副产品之一,这凸显了有效废物管理和资源回收策略的必要性。由于其丰富的营养成分,香蕉皮已被研究具有多种健康益处,包括抗肥胖作用。在本研究中,我们检测了香蕉皮提取物(BPEs)在……中的潜在抗衰老特性。我们的研究结果表明,喂食BPEs的果蝇寿命延长,与年龄相关的攀爬能力下降显著改善。此外,喂食BPEs的老龄果蝇中……的mRNA表达水平显著降低。这些结果表明,BPEs可能通过增强运动功能和延长寿命,潜在地通过调节……中的胰岛素信号,从而作为一种潜在的抗衰老剂。
