What are the benefits of Spermine?
Spermine and polyamines So what are polyamines? And why are they so important in the role of aging? Polyamines are present everywhere in living cells and tissues. They are known as biogenic amines which are compounds with more than two amino groups. Polyamines occur naturally in our bodies and unfortunately, as we age these levels decrease. Polyamines play a role in: Cell division and differentiation Cell proliferation DNA and protein synthesis Homeostasis (the body ’s ability to adjust and maintain a stable state) And gene expression (the code of a gene used to direct protein synthesis) Looking at all the functions of polyamines, we can see why we should be concerned if aging causes our levels to drop. These essential compounds seem to be very involved in the processes of cell growth and maintaining genetic stability. They, therefore, help slow the process of growing older and improve our lifespan and our health span (our quality of life). The drop in our le...
