Abstract
During lifetime, the molecular mechanisms that are responsible for cellular defense against adverse conditions such as oxidative and heat stress tend to be less efficient, thus gradually leading to the natural phenomenon of aging. Aging is linked to increased oxidative stress and is characterized by the accumulation of damaged macromolecules. The accumulation of oxidized and misfolded proteins is also accusable for various neurodegenerative pathologies that are linked to aging. Among self-defense mechanisms of cells, proteostasis network is responsible for the proper biogenesis/folding/trafficking of proteins and their elimination through proteolysis. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is the major proteolytic mechanism that has attracted the interest of many researchers as an antiaging target. Interestingly, many natural compounds have been identified as potent UPS activators. Given that diet is a manageable environmental factor that affects aging, consumption of natural dietary products that may potentially enhance the UPS function, would contribute to increased health span and delayed onset or progression of age-related disorders. Herein, we summarize natural compounds and extracts derived from edible products that have exhibited antiaging and anti-aggregation properties and the beneficial properties have been linked to the UPS modulation. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
