Fig. 2. Lifespan extension by α-KB depends on the NAD+-SIR-2.1 pathway.

Fig. 2

a The contents of NAD+ were increased in α-ketobutyrate (α-KB, 500 μM) -treated wild-type (WT) worms or glp-1(e2141ts) mutants. Knockdown of either cth-1 or cth-2 by RNAi reduced the levels of NAD+ in germline-deficient worms back to those of WT worms. Veh vehicle. Data were presented as mean values ± SEM of three independent experiments. P value was calculated using a one-way ANOVA followed by a Student–Newman–Keuls test. b RNAi knockdown of sir-2.1 inhibited lifespan extension by α-KB (500 μM) in WT worms. P values were calculated using a log-rank test. See survival statistics in Supplementary Data 1. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
