Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Worms with a loss of function mutation in npr-1 demonstrated a 15.6% increase in mean lifespan compared to control worms. Worms with an additional deletion mutation in gcy-35 demonstrated a 26.9% increase in mean lifespan compared to control worms. These extensions were dependent on gcy-33 activity.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Mean lifespan is 16% higher.
