Plasmalogen-Containing Scallop-Derived Lipids Affect the Endocrine System of Caenorhabditis elegans Nematodes and Improved Its Lifespan and Health

To analyze the effects of plasmalogen-containing scallop-derived lipids on lifespan, health span, and neuroendocrine status, we assessed the effects of these lipids on the lifespan, health (motility), aging (lipofuscin accumulation), oxidative stress resistance, and neurotransmitter (dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin) levels of Caenorhabditis elegans. The administration of scallop-de- rived lipids extended the lifespan of C. elegans and suppressed the age-related reduction in movement....
