RNAi inactivation of ftt-2 shortens the lifespan of N2 worms but has no effect on the lifespan of daf-2(e1370) worms.

The lifespan of N2 or daf-2(e1370) worms treated with the indicated RNAi was determined at 22°C and the results of one representative experiment are shown.

Compared to N2 worms fed with L4440 RNAi bacteria;
