Factors

We need to know every factor which determines lifespan.

Lifespan factors often but not always originate from defined genetic elements. They are not just genes, by definition they can be anything for which a Classifications schema can be build for that is related to the regulation of lifespan, such entities may include Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism, transcript variants, proteins and their complexes, compounds (i.e. small molecules like metabolites and drugs), etc. A factor should be based on a defined molecular entity or genomic position and been classified. It shall be highly flexible and scalable Concept.

While individual lifespan factors within each species or precise defined molecular entities will be captured within the Lifespan App, Data Entries of the Data App may summarize for instance the relevance of each factor class (e.g. homologous group; chemical derivate of related structure and properties, etc.) as well as draw overall conclusions. o

    Ucp3 uncoupling protein 3 (mitochondrial, proton carrier) Metabolic intensity (daily food energy/body mass) correlates with longevity in MF1 mice. The animals with the highest quartile of metabolic intensities have a mean lifespan of 36% longer than animals with the lowest quartile of metabolic intensities. The highest metabolism of long-lived animals can be attributed to increased uncoupling Ucp3 [15153176]. Skeletal muscle mitochondria isolated from high metabolism mice are more uncoupled that those from low metabolism mice [15153176]. House mouse
