Brief description We seek to elucidate the molecular basis for the extended lifespan seen in the Methuselah mouse, the longest lived mouse model of ageing. This mouse lacks the receptor for growth hormone, and we have identified a major gene-regulating protein activated by the growth hormone receptor as correlating with lifespan. This project seeks to establish if this protein does indeed regulate lifespan, and to determine how it does this, particularly in relation to metabolism of toxins and free radicals.
