Lipid droplets and peroxisomes are co-regulated to drive lifespan

extension in response to mono-unsaturated fatty acids.

Nature Cell Biology volume 25, pages672–684 (2023)

.

📌Significance :

his study elucidates the critical importance of organelle networks involving lipid droplets and

peroxisomes in mediating longevity effects induced by monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA).

It emphasizes the importance of dietary fat in longevity and provides new research directions for

delaying aging.

.

📌Importance of lipidology :

This study highlights the critical role of MUFA metabolism in longevity effects. These findings provide

a deeper understanding of the role of lipids in health and longevity.

.

📌Connectivity to other fields :

This research will help expand lipid-related research into the fields of preventing aging and maintaining

health.
