Transgenerational fitness effects of lifespan extension by dietary restriction in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i>

2020-06-24

Abstract excerpt

Dietary restriction increases lifespan in a broad variety of organisms and improves health in humans. However, long-term transgenerational consequences of dietary interventions are poorly understood. Here we investigated the effect of dietary restriction by temporary fasting (TF) on mortality risk, age-specific reproduction and fitness across three generations of descendants in C. elegans . We show that while TF...
