Transgenerational Effects of Early Life Starvation on Growth, Reproduction, and Stress Resistance in<i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>
16 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
Starvation during early development can have lasting effects that influence organismal fitness and disease risk. We characterized the long-term phenotypic consequences of starvation during early larval development in Caenorhabditis elegans to determine potential fitness effects and develop it as a model for mechanistic studies. We varied the amount of time that larvae were developmentally arrested by starvation...
