Popis: Spermidine, a polyamine reported to extend lifespan and reduce the risk of age-related diseases, serves as a substrate for the post-translational modification hypusination. Here the authors report that EIF5A hypusination, which regulates mitochondrial protein synthesis, is reduced during non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can be prevented by spermidine to inhibit the progression of NASH in mice.
