Aging Overview

External factors

External factors: Melatonin
Aging type: Prevent
Aging characteristic:
Category: Chemical compounds
Phenotype: Aging
Experimental category: L
Tissue type: Aorta
Cell name: --
PMID: 22109832
Experiment: Histological staining
Description: In control mice not treated and treated with FAST or RETARD melatonin and in APOE-treated mice with both formulations of melatonin,the vessels showed a normal morphology.


Regulatory relationship

Regulatory pathway: SIRT1-p53-eNOS
R-EF-Pathway: --
Official symbol(s): SIRT1-TP53-NOS3
Pathway experiment: Immunostaining
Pathway description: SIRT1 was expressed in cytoplasm and nuclei of tunica intima cells of APOE FAST-and RETARD-treated mice.On the contrary, intima, media, and adventitial cells were negative in the vessels of control mice and in those given either APOE FAST or RETARD melatonin .Melatonin treatments restored significantly the expression of this protein after either in APOE FAST or RETARD melatonin treatment. This positivity was moderate in ECs of APOE FAST-treated animals and strong in APOE RETARD-treated mice.
