Nutrient-sensing pathways like insulin/IGF-1, mTOR, and sirtuins play crucial roles in metabolism and longevity. With age, these pathways become less sensitive, leading to metabolic disorders. For example, insulin resistance can lead to type 2 diabetes. Conversely, reducing nutrient signaling through caloric restriction or drugs like rapamycin (mTOR inhibitor) can extend lifespan in various species.
