Abstract

Homozygous long-lived Ames dwarf mice display two different physiological characteristics. On one hand, they are pretty “resistant to cancer” relative to their wildtype or heterozygous siblings. On the other and, they are also “long-lived” relative again to their wild-type or heterozygous siblings. The most simplistic explanation of the existence of these two different characteristics in the homozygous long-lived Ames dwarf mice could be that the “cancer-resistant” characteristics cause the “long-lived” characteristics of these mice. However, this explanation is only statistical with no cause-and-effect biochemical or molecular biological mechanisms.
