Abstract excerpt
Growth hormone receptor/binding protein knockout (GHR-KO) mice are characterized by resistance to growth hormone (GH), reduced insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF1) levels and enhanced insulin sensitivity and markedly increased lifespan. Findings in these and other long-lived mutant mice, and in normal animals subjected to caloric restriction (CR) indicate that insulin signaling is importantly involved in the...
