Longevity Metabolic Pathways

Meaning

Longevity Metabolic Pathways are the conserved, interconnected biochemical routes within human cells that directly govern the rate of cellular aging, stress resistance, and overall lifespan potential. These pathways act as master regulators, integrating nutrient availability, energy status, and environmental stress signals to modulate cellular repair and survival mechanisms. Key examples include the Insulin/IGF-1 signaling axis, the mTOR pathway, and the Sirtuin family, all of which are profoundly influenced by endocrine hormones.
