| description | Rapamycin extends life span in mice, but it remains unclear if this compound also delays mammalian aging. Here, we present results from a comprehensive large-scale assessment of a wide rage of structural and functional aging phenotypes in mice. Rapamycin extended life span but showed few effects on a large number of systemic aging phenotypes, suggesting that rapamycin's effects on aging are largely limited to the regulation of age-related mortality and carcinogenesis. Total RNA obtained from 2-4 male mice of each analysed group (25 weeks old controls, 25 month old controls, 25 month old rapamycin treated) |
