Abstract
A recent study published in <i>Nature Medicine</i> reports that dietary supplementation with spermidine, a natural polyamine, extends life span and reverses aging-associated cardiac dysfunction in mice through induction of autophagy. Similar protective effects of spermidine on human cardiovascular health were also suggested by epidemiological studies.
