Aging drives the occurrence of several debilitating diseases including‚ cardiovascular diseases (CVDs)‚ cancer‚ neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes mellitus (DM). Recent experiments indicate that young plasma rejuvenates old mice and reverses age-associated pathologies. However‚ the systemic anti-aging factors remain poorly identified. Here we demonstrate the role of apelin (apln) in mammalian aging and identify it as a novel anti-aging factor. We show that apln and its receptor (aplnr) undergo
