- Nuclear hormone receptor family member nhr-8
- Organism

- Observations
- NHR-8 mutants display a 28-35% shorter lifespan than their N2 wild-type counterparts. The extent of lifespan reduction 28-35%) is dependant on the cholesterol level in their diet, however lifespan was reduced at all tested concentrations.
