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 a slight increased chronological and replicative lifespan as well as stress resistance [2614].
