Marine Invertebrates
Mussel (Mytilus Edulis) MCPs attenuate the properties associated with cellular senescence; increase glutathione (GSH) level; recover mitochondrial transmembrane potential; improve the transcriptional activity of Prx1, NAMPT and SIRT1 anti-oxidant, anti-tumor [64,65]
Purple sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus nudus) SnP7, SnP10 reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and the expression of superoxide dismutase-3 (SOD-3) and heat shock protein-16.2 (HSP-16.2) in oxidation-damaged nematodes; induce DAF-16 nuclear translocation and the expression of stress-related genes, such as sod-3 anti-oxidant [66]
Clam (Meretrix meretrix) MmP4, MmP11, MmP19 promote nuclear translocation of the DAF-16/FOXO transcription factor, a pivotal regulator of stress response and lifespan; induce the expression of superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD-3), anti-oxidant [67]
Arca subcrenata D2-G1S-1, G2-G1S-2 exhibit potent DPPH and ABTS •+ radical scavenging activities and ferric-reducing anti-oxidant ability; enhance the mean lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans and significantly improve age-associated physiological functions in the nematode; downregulate gene age-1 and upregulate stress-inducible genes anti-oxidation, anti-aging [68]
Marine Vertebrates
Fish roe FRP promote insulin secretion and cell viability; reduce apoptosis and intracellular ROS levels; increase the activity and content of anti-oxidant-related enzymes Anti-oxidant [69]
