FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present document relates to the field of chemical biology. More particularly, it relates to polyunsaturated fatty acid monoglyceride compounds and combinations thereof. It also provides methods for increasing the lifespan and/or slowing down the ageing process of a subject in need thereof. There is also provided a method for enhancing and/or optimizing the mitochondrial functions of a subject in need thereof by decreasing the mitochondrial proton LEAK and/or increasing the mitochondrial OXPHOS and/or increasing the COUPLING EFFICIENCY.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

The normal functions of an organism gradually decline with ageing and the exact mechanism are not totally understood. One consensus upon almost all specialists is that mitochondria are involved in the ageing process (Payne, B. A. I. and P. F. Chinnery. 2015 “Mitochondrial dysfunction in aging: Much progress but many unresolved questions.” Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 1847; 11: 1347-1353).
