Agency that Tends to Slow Growth of Longevity [Part 2]

Agency that Tends to Slow Growth of Longevity - The fish were returned to a normal temperature of their environment, but the changes in growth affect the rate of aging.

Slow-growing fish as much as 30 percent of his life over the past two years the average life stickleback, with nearly 1,000 days old. While the rapid growth of the fish lives 15 percent shorter than usual.

Professor Neil Metcalfe of the Institute of Biodiversity at the University, said, striking results occurred despite the same size fish as adults.

"You may also find a machine that was built hastily fail faster than is made carefully and methodically, and our research shows that this may also apply to the body," he said.


"These findings may apply to other species, including humans, as well as the growth of organs and tissues of the same age in all kinds of different animals."

Researchers have also been documented in humans, such as rapid growth in young children is associated with a greater risk of developing the disease in later life. As cardiovascular disease in middle-aged or elderly.

Initial attempts to examine the relationship between growth rate and age by changing diet proved inconclusive results because it can be influenced by diet than perngaruhnya to growth.

Glasgow team to avoid the problem by keeping the fish with an identical diet. Fish temperature changes.
