Abstract EN
Ageing and longevity is unquestioningly complex.
Several thoughts and mechanisms of ageing such as pathways involved in oxidative stress, lipid and glucose metabolism, inflammation, DNA damage and repair, growth hormone axis and insulin-like growth factor (GH/IGF), and environmental exposure have been proposed.
Also, some theories of ageing were introduced.
To date, the most promising leads for longevity are caloric restriction, particularly target of rapamycin (TOR), sirtuins, hexarelin and hormetic responses.
This review is an attempt to analyze the mechanisms and theories of ageing and achieving longevity.
