Disruption of insulin signalling preserves bioenergetic competence of mitochondria in ageing Caenorhabditis elegans

BACKGROUND: The gene daf-2 encodes the single insulin/insulin growth factor-1-like receptor of Caenorhabditis elegans. The reduction-of-function allele e1370 induces several metabolic alterations and doubles lifespan. RESULTS: We found that the e1370 mutation alters aerobic energy production substan...
