จากหลักฐานปัจจุบัน เราสามารถวาง hypothesis chain ได้ประมาณว่า
Centella asiatica
→ triterpenoids เช่น asiaticoside / madecassoside / asiatic acid / madecassic acid
→ antioxidant / anti-inflammatory signaling
→ ลด oxidative stress และ cellular damage
→ modulation ของ SIRT1/SIRT2, Klotho, TERT
→ telomerase activity ↑ / telomere attrition ↓
→ cellular senescence ↓
→ maintenance of cellular function
→ potential geroprotective effect
review ล่าสุดในปี 2026 ก็สรุปว่า Centella มีข้อมูล preclinical ต่อ cellular senescence, mitochondrial function, inflammation และ telomere/telomerase
