Alpha-Ketoglutarate, the Metabolite that Regulates Aging in Mice

Cell Metab. 2020 Sep 1;32(3):323-325. doi: 10.1016/j.cmet.2020.08.009.

Abstract

In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Asadi Shahmirzadi et al. (2020) demonstrate that late-onset dietary supplementation with calcium alpha-ketoglutarate results in increased survival, compressed morbidity, and reduced frailty in mice. The study provides further evidence for critical links between metabolism, inflammation, and aging.
