Transcriptional profiling of MnSOD-mediated lifespan extension in Drosophilareveals a species-general network of aging and metabolic genes
9 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several interventions increase lifespan in model organisms, including reduced insulin/insulin-like growth factor-like signaling (IIS), FOXO transcription factor activation, dietary restriction, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) over-expression. One question is whether these manipulations function through different mechanisms, or whether they intersect on common processes affecting aging. RESULTS: A...
