Spermidine feeding decreases age-related locomotor activity loss and induces changes in lipid composition.

Spermidine is a natural polyamine involved in many important cellular functions, whose supplementation in food or water increases life span and stress resistance in several model organisms. In this work, we expand spermidine's range of age-related beneficial effects by demonstrating that it is...
