- Symbol
- bcat-1
- Name
- Branched-chain-amino-acid aminotransferase, cytosolic
- Organism
- Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)
- Observations
- Downregulation of bcat-1 in worms increased mean lifespan by 25% and maximum lifespan by 19%. In addition to extending lifespan bcat-1 downregulation also increased health span.
- % change in max lifespan
- Maximum lifespan is 19% higher.
- % change in avg or median lifespan
- Mean lifespan is 25% higher.
- Lifespan Effect
