TOR is involved in aging in a wide range of species from yeast to mammals. Here we show that, after overnight fasting, mTOR activity is higher in the livers of 28 months old female mice compared with middle-aged mice. Taken together with previous reports, our data predict that the life-extending effect of calorie restriction (CR) may be diminished, if CR is started in very old age. In contrast, rapamycin is known to be effective, even when started late in life.
TOR参与从酵母到哺乳动物等多种物种的衰老过程。我们在此表明,经过一夜禁食后,28月龄雌性小鼠肝脏中的mTOR活性高于中年小鼠。结合先前的报道,我们的数据预测,如果在非常老龄时开始限制热量摄入(CR),其延长寿命的效果可能会减弱。相比之下,已知雷帕霉素即使在生命后期开始使用也有效。
