Ginsenoside Rg3 Promotes Healthy Aging Through Phosphoinositide‐Associated Lysosomal Regulation in Caenorhabditis elegans
Key Takeaways
  • Ginsenoside Rg3 treatment improved locomotion and stress resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans models.
  • Rg3 altered phosphoinositide-associated lysosomal regulation consistent with enhanced autophagy and proteostasis.
  • Lifespan or healthspan benefits depended on genes in the phosphoinositide-lysosome pathway as reported by the study.
