Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing
- Observations
-
Deletion of FKH1 or FKH2 has no effect on neither replicative nor chronological lifespan [2556]. Deletion of both FKH1 and FKH2 reduces mean chronological lifespan by 50% and abrogates lifespan extension and increased stress resistance conferred from water starvation (extreme DR). Modest increase in FKH1 or FKH2 expression results in slight increased chronological and replicative lifespan as well as stress resistance [2614].
