Mated Progeny Production Is a Biomarker of Aging in<i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>
21 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
The relationships between reproduction and aging are important for understanding the mechanisms of aging and evaluating evolutionary theories of aging. To investigate the effects of progeny production on reproductive and somatic aging, we conducted longitudinal studies of Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites. For mated wild-type animals that were not sperm limited and survived past the end of the reproductive...
