Nuclear hormone receptors, metabolism, and aging: what goes around comes around
Previous studies have linked the mysterious and inevitable process of aging to essential
processes such as metabolism, maturation, and fecundity. Each of these processes is
controlled to a large extent by nuclear hormone receptors (NHRs). NHRs also play important
roles in the control of periodical processes, the most recently implicated being circadian
rhythm. This Review stresses the mounting evidence for tight relationships between each of
these NHR-regulated processes and the processes of aging.
