Figure 1 Rapamycin Promotes Yeast Chronological Life Span
Rapamycin treatment of a yeast culture (top) during the logarithmic growth phase increases mitochondrial respiration and the generation of reactive oxygen species, resulting in the induction of cellular defense mechanisms that protect the yeast and will preserve viability during stationary phase. In contrast, an untreated yeast culture (bottom) experiences less oxidative stress during logarithmic growth and is unprepared for the harsh environment of stationary phase.
