Abstracts:

• Uncoupled and surviving: individual mice with high metabolism have greater mitochondrial uncoupling and live longer - Aging Cell. 2004 Jun;3(3):87-95 - "We sought associations between longevity and individual variations in energy metabolism in a cohort of outbred mice. We found a positive association between metabolic intensity (kJ daily food assimilation expressed as g/body mass) and lifespan, but no relationships of lifespan to body mass, fat mass or lean body mass. Mice in the upper quartile of metabolic intensities had greater resting oxygen consumption by 17% and lived 36% longer than mice in the lowest intensity quartile"
