Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
On a chow diet, despite equal food intake, Ala/Ala knock-in mice display beneficial changes in fat mass, circulating lipids, and insulin sensitivity, compared to their Pro/Pro littermates. Ala/Ala mice also gained less weight than Pro/Pro mice both in fat and lean body mass, and their lifespan is average 13% longer.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Average lifespan is 13% higher.

    Observations
    Lowered expression of Pparg reduced lifespan in both the lipodystrophic Pparg1/2-hypomorphic and the Pparg2-deficient mice.
    % change in avg or median lifespan
    Median lifespan is approximately 11% lower.
    Lifespan Effect
    Decrease
