Indy knockdown in mice mimics elements of dietary restriction
A new mouse knock-out of the Indy gene sheds light on the mechanisms by which a reduction in Indy may lead to a healthier life. Mutations in the Indy gene (for I’m not dead yet) were first described in flies where they dramatically extend life span without a loss in fertility, physical activity, flight velocity or metabolic rate [1, 2]. The Indy gene codes for a high-affinity dicarboxylate/citr...
متن کاملDietary restriction affects lifespan but not cognitive aging in Drosophila melanogaster.
Dietary restriction extends lifespan in a wide variety of animals, including Drosophila, but its relationship to functional and cognitive aging is unclear. Here, we study the effects of dietary yeast content on fly performance in an aversive learning task (association between odor and mechanical shock). Learning performance declined at old age, but 50-day-old dietary-restricted flies learned as...
متن کاملCounting calories in Drosophila diet restriction.
The extension of life span by diet restriction in Drosophila has been argued to occur without limiting calories. Here we directly measure the calories assimilated by flies when maintained on full- and restricted-diets. We find that caloric intake is reduced on all diets that extend life span. Flies on low-yeast diet are long-lived and consume about half the calories of flies on high-yeast diets...
متن کاملDivergent effects of caloric restriction on gene expression in normal and long-lived mice.
Long-lived Ames dwarf mice share many phenotypic characteristics with animals subjected to caloric restriction (CR) but they are not CR mimetics. CR prolongs longevity in both normal and Ames dwarf mice. Using real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot, we have examined the expression of genes related to insulin signaling in the liver of normal and dwarf mice subjected to 30% CR. The ...
متن کاملSmall nucleoli are a cellular hallmark of longevity
Animal lifespan is regulated by conserved metabolic signalling pathways and specific transcription factors, but whether these pathways affect common downstream mechanisms remains largely elusive. Here we show that NCL-1/TRIM2/Brat tumour suppressor extends lifespan and limits nucleolar size in the major C. elegans longevity pathways, as part of a convergent mechanism focused on the nucleolus. L...
