A mutant allele of hsf-1 slightly decreases lifespan under AL, but cancels out the lifespan extension effect of bDR. hsf-1 RNAi also prevents lifespan extension by bDR. Glucose or glycerol does not shorten the lifespan of hsf-1 mutants. Glucose treatment completely suppresses the long lifespan caused by hsf-1 overexpression [19883616]. sDR extends the lifespan of hsf-1 mutant with a premature stop codon, that eliminates activation domain, and that of wild-type to a similar extent [19239417].
