Aging and Longevity after Photoperiod Induced Variations in Life History
Summary:
This paper discusses the effects of photoperiod-induced variations in life history on aging and longevity, using Siberian hamsters as a model organism.
Categories
- Aging: The paper explores the relationship between sexual maturity, aging, and lifespan in Siberian hamsters, and how these factors are influenced by changes in photoperiod.
- Hormone regulation: The study suggests that the onset of reproductive hormones may be a risk factor for kidney hypertrophy in male hamsters.
- Phototherapy: The research uses photoperiod manipulation as a method to induce variations in life history in Siberian hamsters.
