Metabolic Responses to Spermidine Supplementation.
Sponsor: Chrysea Labs Lda
Summary
Spermidine is naturally present in cells, organs, circulating cardiovascular system, and as part of our normal dietary intake. Studies suggest Spermidine is involved in antioxidation, autophagy, apoptosis, and immune regulation. Spermidine is typically present in foods of plant origin, such as natto, beans, fruits, vegetables, cheese, potatoes, bread, and cereals. Adequate spermidine dietary intake is important, given evidence of declining spermidine levels with age in humans and other species, and the evidence for positive effects of spermidine supplementation on age related biology. To date, human research studies utilised extracts containing low levels of spermidine (\< 10%) and multiple other constituents, but this study will use pure spermidine to explore relevant mechanisms of action, biological effects, and identify potential biomarkers of positive biological effects.
