Abstract excerpt
Oxidative damage shortens the life span of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), even in an age-1 mutant that is characterized by a long life and oxygen resistance. We found that daily short-term exposure (3 h) to hyperoxia further extended the life span of age-1, a phenomenon known as an adaptive response. age-1 also showed resistance to paraquat and heat. Acute hyperoxic treatment did not extend the...
