Sentence examples for longevity characteristics from inspiring English sources

Thus, the observations that Klotho, an aging-suppressor gene, confers resistance to oxidative stress [ 14, 15], decreases levels of urinary 8-oxoG and activates MnSOD [ 13] in the Klotho overexpressing mice supports the hypothesis that these longevity characteristics may be linked to ROS-sensitive signaling processes and resistance to oxidative stress.

Our data suggest, therefore that the activation of SAPK/JNK in Klotho -/- may be mediated via the stress response ASK1 activation associated with aging and senescence whereas the activation in response to Klotho overexpression is not a stress response and may, therefore, be part of the longevity characteristics regulated by the circulating Klotho hormone.

Furthermore, EDB fidelity should be considered in conservation plans, particularly in light of the species' longevity, as these characteristics suggest that mature EDBs may not readily redistribute at the landscape scale in response to habitat degradation.

It is well recognized that aging and longevity are complex characteristics, which are determined by an interplay of genes and environment, with nutrition certainly being one of the most important environmental factors.

The questionnaire also included items on demographic, socio-economic and forced displacement characteristics (longevity, distance, frequency), and exposure to 16 traumatic events using the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire (Mollica, Massagli, & Silove, 2004).

This however should be tested in experiments where repeated thickness measurements are made from these sites and where data for each trait of interest e.g. reproductive performance, sow longevity or meat characteristics, are available.

Their longevities and aging characteristics have been described, and they have been used for studies on environmental manipulations that increase longevity including caloric restriction and temperature reduction, as well as to generate genetic models of accelerated aging.

Whether extremely long replicative potential is exclusive to SSCs (perhaps because the germline is essential for survival of a species) or whether such longevity is a characteristic shared with other adult stem cells remains unclear.

This characteristic longevity was already observed for settlements in the northern Lesser Antilles by Versteeg et al. (1993) and Schinkel (1992) and contrasted with shorter-lived villages in the South American lowlands.

Humans and elephants are examples of species exhibiting K-selected characteristics, including longevity and efficiency in the conversion of more resources into fewer offspring.

These data suggest that ETC activities of tissues of aging complex organisms may exhibit tissue-specific physiological characteristics of longevity.
