Abstract in brief

  • The study compares liver proteins of long-lived naked mole-rats (NMRs) and shorter-lived guinea pigs, revealing that NMRs have unique mitochondrial protein expressions that lead to distinct metabolic features, such as reduced respiration rates and increased fatty acid utilization.
  • Findings show that the molecular changes in NMRs' aging process are similar to those in humans, suggesting a direct link to their remarkable longevity and aging resistance.
  • The research also discovered a new detoxification pathway associated with longevity, confirmed its role in nematodes, and highlights the importance of combining proteomic and transcriptomic data for cross-species insights into aging.
