Abstract
Research on the biology of aging and possibilities of interventions has gained a significant push forward by incorporating the concept of mild stress-induced physiological hormesis. Mild stress induced-activation of adaptive and protective pathways in cells and organisms has numerous health-promoting, aging-modulatory and lifespan-extending effects. Moderate and repeated physical exercise is the paradigm for physiological hormesis. Molecular mechanisms for the action of hormetins comprise a cascade of primary stress response pathways, including oxidative stress response, heat shock response, unfolded protein stress response, autophagy, DNA damage response, inflammatory response and sirtuin activation response. Hormetin-based strengthening of the organismic ability of homeodynamics or dynamic homeostasis is a promising holistic approach towards health maintenance, recovery, and promotion for healthy aging and longevity.
期刊介绍:
The aims and scope of Current Opinion in Toxicology is to systematically provide the reader with timely and provocative views and opinions of the highest qualified and recognized experts on current advances in selected topics within the field of toxicology. The goal is that Current Opinion in Toxicology will be an invaluable source of information and perspective for researchers, teachers, managers and administrators, policy makers and students. Division of the subject into sections: For this purpose, the scope of Toxicology is divided into six selected high impact themed sections, each of which is reviewed once a year: Mechanistic Toxicology, Metabolic Toxicology, Risk assessment in Toxicology, Genomic Toxicology, Systems Toxicology, Translational Toxicology.
