Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing
- Observations
- Overexpression of catalase and Sod1 result in a one-third lifespan extension, a slower rate of mortality acceleration, and a delayed loss in physical performance.
- % change in avg or median lifespan
- Lifespan is one-third higher.
- Lifespan Effect
- Increase
