paragraph_text: Metabolic pathways involved in ageing
  
  There are three main metabolic pathways which can influence the rate of ageing, discussed below:
  
  It is likely that most of these pathways affect ageing separately, because targeting them simultaneously leads to additive increases in lifespan.
