In their analysis, Dr. Mello and his colleagues found that these parrots and some other long-lived birds shared changes in a set of 344 genes that seem to be involved in various processes that influence life span, like how an animal's body repairs DNA, manages cancer or controls cell growth.
These results indicate that dietary lipid composition can influence life span in mice on CR, and suggest that a diet containing a low proportion of PUFAs and high proportion of monounsaturated and saturated fats may maximize life span in animals maintained on CR.
How genes influence life span: the biodemography of human survival.
Next, we also asked whether mutation of c30f12.4 could influence life span because of its role in regulating fat metabolism.
