Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

GH transgenic mice (overexpressing PCK1) are shorter lived when compared to wild-type controls. When methionine is severely restricted (0.16%), GH transgenic mice still live less than wild-type controls (39%), but their lifespans is about 50% greater than on a normal diet. On a less restrictive diet (0.43% methionine) or on an enriched diet (1.3% methionine) transgenic mice live significantly less than wild type controls (55-58%)
