Steroid hormones sulfatase inactivation extends lifespan and ameliorates age-related diseases
2019-02-06
Abstract excerpt
Aging and fertility are two interconnected processes. From invertebrates to mammals, absence of the germline increases longevity by a still not fully understood mechanism. We find that loss of function of sul-2, the Caenorhabditis elegans steroid sulfatase (STS), raises the pool of sulfated steroid hormones and increases longevity. This increased longevity requires factors involved in germline-mediated longevity (...
