Mitochondrial determinants of mammalian longevity
Current ageing theories are far from satisfactory because of the many determinants involved in ageing. The well-known rate-of-living theory assumes that the product (lifetime energy expenditure, LEE) of maximum lifespan (MLS) and mass-specific basal metabolic rate (msBMR) is approximately constant. Although this theory provides a significant inverse correlation between msBMR and MLS as a whole ...
متن کاملPlasma long-chain free fatty acids predict mammalian longevity
Membrane lipid composition is an important correlate of the rate of aging of animals and, therefore, the determination of their longevity. In the present work, the use of high-throughput technologies allowed us to determine the plasma lipidomic profile of 11 mammalian species ranging in maximum longevity from 3.5 to 120 years. The non-targeted approach revealed a specie-specific lipidomic profi...
متن کاملTelomere length and body temperature—independent determinants of mammalian longevity?
WHY DO SPECIES DIFFER IN LIFESPAN AND WHAT ARE THE DETERMINANTS OF THEIR LONGEVITY? Understanding the main factors that determine variation in species longevity may provide a clue into the leading mechanisms of aging and—what is even more important—outline the key targets for longevity-promoting interventions. Comparative studies on longevity in mammals revealed numerous variables that correlat...
متن کاملIs there a link between aging and microbiome diversity in exceptional mammalian longevity?
A changing microbiome has been linked to biological aging in mice and humans, suggesting a possible role of gut flora in pathogenic aging phenotypes. Many bat species have exceptional longevity given their body size and some can live up to ten times longer than expected with little signs of aging. This study explores the anal microbiome of the exceptionally long-lived Myotis myotis bat, investi...
متن کاملPeroxide-producing potential of tissues: inverse correlation with longevity of mammalian species.
Peroxidation reactions may cause many of the dysfunctions associated with aging. Accordingly, the 30-fold differences in aging rate among the mammalian species could be determined in part by peroxidation defense processes. This possibility was tested by measuring the spontaneous autoxidation of aerobically incubated brain and kidney tissue homogenates of 24 different mammalian species as a func...
