Abstract
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has proven a robust genetic model for studies of aging and the roles of oxidative stress. In this review we focus on the genetics of select long-lived and short-lived mutants of C. elegans that have proven useful in revealing the relationships that exist between oxidative stress and life span. The former are known to be controlled by an insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)-like pathway, while the latter are affected by mitochondrial functions.
