Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing
- Observations
-
Whole body depletion of Ire1 using RNA interference reduced lifespan in flies and negated the lifespan extending effects of dietary restriction. This effect was found to be tissue specific, Ire1 expression in the midgut is required for starvation tolerance and lifespan extension.
