RE: The quest for elixir of life - understanding caloric restriction (episode 2 - mitochondria)

Hey @scienceblocks,

nice pictures this time and even more interesting facts.

Thank you for this... resteem!

By the way: In the case of metformin it was postulated that it triggers the production of "beneficial" ROS in low doses which in turn activates NRF2/Kap1 as well as PGC1a. This mechanism is called "mitohermesis".

It probably is the same effect you have after sports.
