Abstract excerpt
It is known that a dauer-constitutive gene, daf-2, controls both larval development and adult life span in Caenorhabditis elegans. The increased life span caused by the daf-2 mutation can be enhanced by a daf-12 mutation and suppressed by a daf-16 mutation. In order to determine the correlation between longevity and oxidative stress in these mutants, protein carbonyl (a good indicator of oxidative damage during...
