Indian Almond (Terminalia catappa Linn.) Leaf Extract Extends Lifespan by Improving Lipid Metabolism and Antioxidant Activity Dependent on AMPK Signaling Pathway in Caenorhabditis elegans under High-Glucose-Diet Conditions.

Summary

Indian almond leaf extract (TCE) with high flavonoid and phenolic content showed antioxidant and antiaging effects in obese worms. TCE inhibited lipid and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and prolonged lifespan by downregulating atgl-1, daf-16, and skn-1 genes. TCE may have potential for antiaging under metabolic disorders.
