The invention provides a set of robust biomarkers of aging in the heart comprising several genes involved in the Wnt signaling pathway. These genes have been found to be down-regulated in aged versus young heart tissue. Methods of using those biomarkers to monitor heart aging and to identify nutrients and dietary regimens for retarding heart aging are disclosed. Methods for the modulation of the genes themselves to retard heart aging are also disclosed. |
