Title |
Rapamycin extends life span, but has limited effects on aging in mice |
Organism |
Mus musculus |
Experiment type |
Expression profiling by array
|
Summary |
Rapamycin extends life span in mice, but it remains unclear if this compound also delays mammalian aging. Here, we present results from a comprehensive large-scale assessment of a wide rage of structural and functional aging phenotypes in mice. Rapamycin extended life span but showed few effects on a large number of systemic aging phenotypes, suggesting that rapamycin's effects on aging are largely limited to the regulation of age-related mortality and carcinogenesis.
