presents episode 3297 | DR BEN BIKMAN classic full set
Rapamycin & longevity…
-this combination is how it is most often talked about
-discussion is centered on intracellular protein: mTOR
[mammalian target of rapamycin]
Research in humans using rapamycin to inhibit mTOR
for longevity benefit is very weak
mTOR is a mediator which affects the
cell's ability to grow
-influences the cell metabolism, including
protein synthesis
mTOR is very relevant in muscle health…
"Consider: do I really want to inhibit this all the time?”
When eat dietary protein, converted into amino acids
-amino acids activate mTOR
If you believe inhibiting mTOR does lengthen life, then
you don't mind restricting protein intake
-this is the outcome of the notion that
leads to protein restriction for longevity
-I will focus on insulin later and show how
silly this notion is
One reason that the notion of protein restriction for longevity
is silly is that their own evidence challenges it…
Studies show, the older you get, the less protein you eat,
the shorter your mortality
Research show: as people age, if they take in more animal
protein, they live longer lives
