Significance:
This study suggests, for the first time, that Thermostable extract of fenugreek seeds, by increasing the expression of its target gene, it may suppress the expression of mTOR. Thereby, it may: (i) increase autophagic flux; (ii) decrease reactive oxygen species; and (iii) increase the lifespan of an individual. Of interest, decreasing the expression/activity of mTOR has earlier been shown to increase overall lifespan. Together, this study
suggests that pharmacological formulations encompassing “Thermostable extract of fenugreek seeds or an active compound isolated from it” may function as longevity promoters.
