We briefly compare calorie restriction, GHRH-R and Pit-1 mutants with knockout phenotypes of GH receptor, IGF-1 receptor and p66Shc, to make some general conclusions. Growth, fertility and longevity phenotypes may dissociate in some of these mutants, and we try to interpret this. Follows a short discussion on the importance of genetic background for aging studies in mice. We then evoke studies in C. elegans...
