Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Transgenic overexpression of HIF-1 extends lifespan by 12-34% depending on the level of over-expression.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Mean lifespan is up to 34% higher.
Lifespan Effect
Increase
Genetic Manipulation
Overexpression
Longevity Category
Pro-Longevity
Primary reference
    Observations
    Deletion of HIF-1 (ia04) extends mean lifespan by 24%. Maximum lifespan is also extended.
    % change in avg or median lifespan
    Mean lifespan is 24% higher.
    Lifespan Effect
    Increase
    Genetic Manipulation
    Mutation
    Longevity Category
    Anti-Longevity
    Primary reference
      Observations
      Deletion of HIF-1 through a null-allele mutation (ia4) is not sufficient to significantly influence lifespan
