Abstract excerpt
Impaired insulin/IGF1 signalling has been shown to extend lifespan in model organisms ranging from yeast to mammals. Here we sought to determine the effect of targeted disruption of the insulin receptor (IR) in non-neuronal tissues of adult mice on the lifespan. We induced hemizygous (PerIRKO+/- ) or homozygous (PerIRKO-/- ) disruption of the IR in peripheral tissue of 15-weeks-old mice using a...
