Natural product Life-span extension therapy: Ferulic acid, found abundantly in the flax seeds, refined maize bran and soft and hard rice bran among others, may increase life span by suppressing mTOR pathway, 2/December/2016, 11.27 pm

Natural product Life-span extension therapy: Ferulic acid, found abundantly in the flax seeds, refined maize bran and soft and hard rice bran among others, may increase life span by suppressing mTOR pathway, 2/December/2016, 11.27 pm 150 150 Dr Boomi's Genom-2-Discovery Center

What is known:  It has been shown earlier that decreasing the expression/activity of mTOR increases overall mammalian lifespan, suggesting that mTOR inhibitors may function as “longevity promoters.” I have published…
