Inverse correlation between longevity and developmental rate among wild C. elegans strains
Genetic studies using model organisms have shown that many long-lived mutants display impaired fitness, such as reduced fecundity and delayed development. However, in several wild animals, the association between longevity and fitness does not seem to be inevitable. Thus, the relationship between longevity and fitness in wild organisms remains inconclusive. Here, we determined the correlation b...
متن کاملLongevity, lipids and C. elegans
Scientific investigation of mechanisms that determine lifespan can be divided into three general approaches. The first approach (the comparative method) began over a century ago comparing species differing greatly in maximum longevity and implicated a role for the speed of metabolism in determining the length of life [1]. The second approach commenced after the 1930s investigated the mechanisms...
متن کاملMetabolic Rate Regulates L1 Longevity in C. elegans
Animals have to cope with starvation. The molecular mechanisms by which animals survive long-term starvation, however, are not clearly understood. When they hatch without food, C. elegans arrests development at the first larval stage (L1) and survives more than two weeks. Here we show that the survival span of arrested L1s, which we call L1 longevity, is a starvation response regulated by metab...
متن کاملInverse Correlation between Heart Rate Variability and Heart Rate Demonstrated by Linear and Nonlinear Analysis
The dynamical fluctuations in the rhythms of biological systems provide valuable information about the underlying functioning of these systems. During the past few decades analysis of cardiac function based on the heart rate variability (HRV; variation in R wave to R wave intervals) has attracted great attention, resulting in more than 17000-publications (PubMed list). However, it is still cont...
متن کاملC. elegans as a premier longevity and aging model
and aging model Aging studies in mammals are challenging owing to relatively long life spans and a limited set of genetic tools that are capable of assessing the genome-wide changes associated with disease. By contrast, C. elegans lives for only 2-3 weeks and is easily propagated in culture, facilitating rapid genetic analyses. Genetic resources for C. elegans include hundreds of publicly avail...
