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.
