Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

Abundance of Ilp5 mRNA is reduced under DR. Ilp5 null mutants have a normal lifespan under ad libitum and 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 being shorter-lived compared to wild-type on low but longer-lived on high yeast concentrations [2580].
