Abstract
Interoception refers to the body's perception and regulation of internal physiological states and involves complex neural mechanisms and sensory systems. The current definition of interoception falls short of capturing the breadth of related research; here, we propose an updated definition. Homeostasis, a foundational principle of integrated physiology, is the process by which organisms dynamically maintain optimal balance across all conditions through neural, endocrine, and behavioral functions. This review examines the role of interoception in body homeostasis. Aging is a complex process influenced by multiple factors and involving multiple levels, including physical, psychological, and cognitive. However, interoceptive and aging interoceptive interactions are lacking. A new perspective on interoception and aging holds significant implications for understanding how aging regulates interoception and how interoception affects the aging process. Finally, we summarize that arachidonic acid metabolites show promise as biomarkers of interoception-aging. The aim of this study is to comprehensively analyze interoceptive-aging interactions, understand the aging mechanism from a novel perspective, and provide a theoretical basis for exploring anti-aging strategies.
期刊介绍:
With the rise in average human life expectancy, the impact of ageing and age-related diseases on our society has become increasingly significant. Ageing research is now a focal point for numerous laboratories, encompassing leaders in genetics, molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, and behavior. Ageing Research Reviews (ARR) serves as a cornerstone in this field, addressing emerging trends.
ARR aims to fill a substantial gap by providing critical reviews and viewpoints on evolving discoveries concerning the mechanisms of ageing and age-related diseases. The rapid progress in understanding the mechanisms controlling cellular proliferation, differentiation, and survival is unveiling new insights into the regulation of ageing. From telomerase to stem cells, and from energy to oxyradical metabolism, we are witnessing an exciting era in the multidisciplinary field of ageing research.
The journal explores the cellular and molecular foundations of interventions that extend lifespan, such as caloric restriction. It identifies the underpinnings of manipulations that extend lifespan, shedding light on novel approaches for preventing age-related diseases. ARR publishes articles on focused topics selected from the expansive field of ageing research, with a particular emphasis on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the aging process. This includes age-related diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. The journal also covers applications of basic ageing research to lifespan extension and disease prevention, offering a comprehensive platform for advancing our understanding of this critical field.
