Stress and Aging
Rhonda and Gordon discuss how hormetic stressors, like heat, fasting, and xenohormetic compounds, activate cellular stress response pathways that help us deal with stress better. They also explain how heat shock proteins are responsive to heat and how this stress response pathway is relevant for humans. Additionally, they discuss the potential benefits of prestressing organs ahead of surgery and the use of chemical compounds to harness the endogenous stress response.In this clip
