The Mediterranean diet has become famous far beyond its namesake sea, as research increasingly supports its longstanding reputation for boosting health and longevity.
"We saw that the numbers of lipid droplets in the worms' intestinal cells increased if the worms were exposed to oleic acid, and that this correlated with an extension of lifespan," BrunetExposure to elaidic acid, on the other hand, didn't increase the number of lipid droplets or the number of days the worms lived.
On top of the increase in lipid droplets, roundworms' intestinal cells also had more organelles calledLipid droplets and peroxisomes were more abundant in cells of younger animals, the researchers report, naturally dwindling with age. Along with its effects on organelles, oleic acid protected cells by limiting lipid oxidation, a chemical reaction that damages cell membranes. Elaidic acid had the opposite effect, increasing oxidation at the expense of cellular integrity.."Cell membranes can begin to leak and fail, which can cause a cascade of adverse biological effects."
