TLDR
This review will focus on PGC-1alpha, SIRT1, AMPK and mTOR and discuss how these proteins regulate mitochondrial function and their potential involvement in aging, calorie restriction and age-related disease.

Absence of S6K1 protects against age- and diet-induced obesity while enhancing insulin sensitivity. [Erratum: 2004 Sept. 23, v. 431, no. 7007, p. 485.]

TL;DR: In this article, S6K1-deficient mice are protected against obesity owing to enhanced β-oxidation, but on a high fat diet, levels of glucose and free fatty acids still rise in S6k1-dependent mice, resulting in insulin receptor desensitization.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of mitochondria in aging

TL;DR: The caveats of the traditional mitochondrial free radical theory of aging are discussed and other possible mechanisms, including insulin/IGF-1 signaling and the target of rapamycin pathways, that underlie the central role of mitochondria in the aging process are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

AMPK and SIRT1: a long-standing partnership?

TL;DR: The evidence that AMPK and SIRT1 both regulate each other and share many common target molecules is examined and the possibility that their dysregulation predisposes to disorders such as type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

How increased oxidative stress promotes longevity and metabolic health: The concept of mitochondrial hormesis (mitohormesis)

TL;DR: It is indicated that ROS are essential signaling molecules which are required to promote health and longevity and the concept of mitohormesis provides a common mechanistic denominator for the physiological effects of physical exercise, reduced calorie uptake, glucose restriction, and possibly beyond.

Oxidants, oxidative stress and the biology of ageing.

TL;DR: Evidence that the appropriate and inappropriate production of oxidants, together with the ability of organisms to respond to oxidative stress, is intricately connected to ageing and life span is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aging: A Theory Based on Free Radical and Radiation Chemistry

TL;DR: It seems possible that one factor in aging may be related to deleterious side attacks of free radicals (which are normally produced in the course of cellular metabolism) on cell constituents.

TOR signaling in growth and metabolism.

TL;DR: The physiological consequences of mammalianTORC1 dysregulation suggest that inhibitors of mammalian TOR may be useful in the treatment of cancer, cardiovascular disease, autoimmunity, and metabolic disorders.
