The results suggest that bacteria affect genes that control life span, and that overuse of antibiotics could harm well - being and longevity in animals and perhaps even in humans.
Given all the drugs on the market, geneticist Kerry Kornfeld and his colleagues at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, speculated that some of these drugs might retard aging or promote longevity by affecting one of those gene targets.
A transcriptome research of its organs revealed its gene signature is highly evolved and adapted for extreme longevity (slow metabolism, improved insulin gene signaling and glucose homeostasis, thus reduced blood glucose, improved cancer genes, improved endothelial function by eNOS (endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase) meaning improved vascular coronary blood flow, improved microvasculature arterial and heart endothelium function) but more importantly, to answer your question, some whales display low blood glucose hypoglycemia, this affects the quantity and period of proteins / DNA / cell exposure to glucose glycation, glycosylation and glycoxydation reactions.
Schosserer will be spending two months in the laboratory of Aric Rogers, Ph.D., at the MDI Biological Laboratory's Kathryn W. Davis Center for Regenerative Biology and Medicine studying the role that molecular regulators of gene expression play in longevity — and in particular how these regulators are affected by lower amounts of food or food with lower energy content.
Polymorphic variants of insulin - like growth factor I (IGF - I) receptor and phosphoinositide 3 - kinase genes affect IGF - I plasma levels and human longevity: cues for an evolutionarily conserved mechanism of life span control.
Plant Positive (www.plantpositive.com) has some amazing work explaining why we shouldn't use models of these marginalized societies, or of assumed genetic or evolutionary requirements to determine our eating habits (one being that genes are passed on only by those that live long enough to procreate, and are not affected by the longevity of that individual — it just isn't important for «survival of the fittest» in the evolutionary sense).
With one sample group, they affected a series of genes related to longevity, and created Skrullian Eternals.
