Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing
- Observations
- RNA interference of nsun-5 in worms under special diet (calorically restricted in adulthood) extends mean lifespan of worms by 17%. Similarly, RNA interference of nsun-5 in the eat-2 worm strain results in a longer lifespan.
- % change in avg or median lifespan
- Mean lifespan is 17% higher.
