Abstract

The major causal factors for the irreversible decline in physical vitality during organismal aging are postulated to be a chronic state of cellular redox imbalance, metabolic toxicity, and impaired energy homeostasis. We assessed whether the relevant enzyme activity, oxidative stress, and intracellular ATP might be causally involved in the aging of short-lived Chlamys farreri (life span 4~5 years). A total of eight related biochemical and cellular indicators were chosen for the subsequent analysis. All the indicators were measured in seven different tissues from scallops aged one to four years, and our data support that the aging of C. farreri is associated with attenuated tissue enzyme activity as well as a decreased metabolic rate. Through principal component analysis, we developed an integrated vigor index for each tissue for comprehensive age-related fitness evaluation. Remarkably, all tissue-integrated vigor indexes significantly declined with age, and the kidney was observed to be the most representative tissue. Further transcriptional profiling of the enzymatic genes provided additional detail on the molecular responses that may underlie the corresponding biochemical results. Moreover, these critical molecular responses ...Continue Reading
