Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)

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.
Lifespan Effect
Increase
