Longevity in C. elegans Eat mutants is largely attributable to reduced bacterial infection

Hongyuan Wang, Yuan Zhao, Faria Athar, Jennifer N. Lohr, Zhou Yang, Bruce Zhang, Hannah Chapman, Ioan Marcu, Mila Penzel, David Gems

This study shows that the longevity of C. elegans Eat mutants is mostly due to reduced bacterial infection rather than dietary restriction.

Altered metabolic health during pregnancy in mice with lean polycystic ovary syndrome-like traits from high prenatal AMH

Emma J Houston, Emily Jewett, Faria Athar, Nicole M. Templeman

This study examines metabolic changes in PCOS-like mice during pregnancy, finding altered glucose homeostasis but no major metabolic dysfunction despite high-fat diet exposure.

Lowering insulin mitigates female reproductive aging and diet-induced ovarian dysfunction

Faria Athar, Liam G. Hall, Xiaoke Hu, James D. Johnson, Nicole M. Templeman

The paper shows that lowering insulin levels in mice prevents reproductive aging and diet-induced ovarian dysfunction, linking hyperinsulinemia to subfertility.
