Caenorhabditis elegans respond to high-glucose diets through a network of stress-responsive transcription factors
10 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
High-glycemic-index diets, as well as a sedentary lifestyle are considered as determinant factors for the development of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases in humans. These diets have been shown to shorten the life span of C. elegans in a manner that is dependent on insulin signaling, but the participation of other signaling pathways have not been addressed. In this study, we have determined...
