In this issue of Nature Metabolism, it is shown that the abundance of Caenorhabditis elegans branched-chain aminotransferase-1 (BCAT-1) — which catalyses the first step of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolism — declines sharply in aged wild-type nematodes but not in slowly ageing mutants, and that stimulating BCAA catabolism extends reproductive longevity.
