Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

foxo overexpression extends lifespan. Activation of foxo in the adult pericerebral fat body is sufficient for lifespan extension. Limited activation of foxo reduces the expression of Drosophila insulin-like peptide dilp-2 synthesised in neurons and, represses endogenous insulin-dependent signalling in peripheral fat body [1091]. foxo is not required for DR, but its activity modulates the response. foxo null mutants are shorter-lived than wild-type on all food dilutions apart from 0.1 SY and under starvation. foxo overexpression in adult fat body under normal nutrition leads to extension of lifespan of females and causes an attenuated lifespan response to DR [2578].
