Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing
- Observations
-
daf-2 mutants live more than twice as long as controls. Its relation to DR is unclear. daf-2 mutation extends lifespan of wild-type and eat-2 mutants [1820]. Long lifespan of daf-2 insulin receptor mutation is further extended by solid DR [2564]. DR by bacterial dilution extends lifespan of daf-2 mutants [2360]. Intermittent fasting does not markedly extend lifespan of daf-2 mutants [2566]. Bacterial dilution DR increases lifespan by 65%. daf-2 mutation further increases lifespan under bacterial dilution DR by 40% [2569]. DR from eat-2 mutation has an additive effect on lifespan of daf-2(e1370) adults, but not on lifespan of daf-2(e1368) adults [2600].
