Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Overexpression resulted in increased resistance to hyperoxia and a 29% extension of mean lifespan under normoxia. Lifespan was also extended 30-60% under starvation.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Average lifespan is 29% higher.
Lifespan Effect
Increase
Genetic Manipulation
Overexpression
Longevity Category
Pro-Longevity

    Observations
    The absence of GLaz reduces the organism's resistance to oxidative stress and starvation and shortens male lifespan. Median survival time is reduced by 19.3%, maximum survival time is reduced by 10.9%.
    % change in max lifespan
    Maximum lifespan is 10.9% lower.
    % change in avg or median lifespan
    Median lifespan is 19.3% lower.
    Lifespan Effect
    Decrease
    Genetic Manipulation
    Deletion
