Myricetin-Mediated Lifespan Extension in Caenorhabditis elegans Is Modulated by DAF-16

Myricetin is a naturally occurring flavonol found in many plant based food sources. It increases the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans, but the molecular mechanisms are not yet fully understood. We have investigated the impact of this flavonoid on the transcription factors DAF-16 (C. elegans FoxO h...
