Spermidine induces cytoprotective autophagy of female germline stem cells in vitro and ameliorates aging caused by oxidative stress through upregulated sequestosome-1/p62 expression

Autophagy is required for oogenesis and plays a critical role in response to aging caused by oxidative stress. However, there have been no reports on regulation of cytoprotective autophagy in female germline stem cells (FGSCs) in response to aging caused by oxidative stress until now.

Spermidine Protects Telomere Length

Although ageing causes cellular deterioration, a recent study in 2021 using older mice has found that spermidine supplements prevent age-related telomere shortening, indicating that spermidine has a cardioprotective effect and prevents the development of age-related disease.
