X-Message-Number: 18434 From: Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2002 20:57:02 EST Subject: fruit fly longevity, 4-PAB --part1_110.c5b74d6.29875b6e_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I read the paper on 4-phenylbutryate. The authors report upregulation of many genes, including the superoxide dismutase gene; reduction in oxidative damage could be the cause. Someone should feed some EUK-134 (a superoxide dismutase/catalase mimic) to fruit flies and see whether the result is similar. --part1_110.c5b74d6.29875b6e_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=18434
