Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

Ilp2 is down-regulated in long-lived mutants. Ilp2 null mutants are significantly longer-lived with a 8-13% longer median lifespan, but have a normal DR response. Ilp2 Ilp3 Ilp5 triple null mutants fail to have a normal response to DR. Their response is right shifted, with mutants shorter-lived compared to wild-type on low but longer-lived on high yeast concentrations [2580].
