Caloric restriction extends yeast chronological lifespan by altering a pattern of age-related changes in trehalose concentration

Caloric restriction extends yeast chronological lifespan by altering a pattern of age-related changes in trehalose concentration

The nonreducing disaccharide trehalose has been long considered only as a reserve carbohydrate. However, recent studies in yeast suggested that this osmolyte can protect cells and cellular proteins from oxidative damage elicited by exogenously added reactive oxygen species (ROS). Trehalose has been...
