Methionine Metabolism and the Pace of Aging

The prevailing wisdom in the research community is that a reduced level of the essential amino acid methionine is the primary trigger for the sweeping changes to metabolism that take place due to the practice of calorie restriction. Essential amino acids are not manufactured in the body, and thus must be obtained through the diet. The changes provoked by a reduced calorie intake lead to a slowing of aging and increased healthy life span and overall life span, largely mediated via an increase in the cellular maintenance processes of autophagy. Many other processes are involved as well, however, each adding their own small contribution, and animal studies suggest that reduced levels of other essential amino acids also have their own, lesser triggers that contribute to the whole
