There are two main culprits that accelerate the aging process of our skin: sun exposure and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) . AGEs form when protein or fat combine with sugar.
Beside this, what protein is responsible for aging?
For example, Irina Conboy’s lab at the University of California, Berkeley has been studying a protein called TGF-beta, which contributes to aging.
Likewise, does protein slow down aging? Two animal studies show that restricting the dietary intake of branched-chain amino acids can extend lifespan by modulating the mTOR signalling pathway.
