Abstract

Summary: Rapamycin increases lifespan in mice, but whether this represents merely inhibition of lethal neoplastic diseases, or an overall slowing in multiple aspects of aging is currently unclear. We report here that many forms of age‐dependent change, including alterations in heart, liver, adrenal glands, endometrium, and tendon, as well as age‐dependent decline in spontaneous activity, occur more slowly in rapamycin‐treated mice, suggesting strongly that rapamycin retards multiple aspects of aging in mice, in addition to any beneficial effects it may have on neoplastic disease. We also note, however, that mice treated with rapamycin starting at 9 months of age have significantly higher incidence of testicular degeneration and cataracts; harmful effects of this kind will guide further studies on timing, dosage, and tissue‐specific actions of rapamycin relevant to the development of clinically useful inhibitors of TOR action.

  • Rapamycin delays multiple aspects of aging in mice.

    “Notably, rapamycin delays multiple aspects of aging in mice (Wilkinson et al., 2012).”

    From The Hallmarks of Aging (2013) · cites this paper as Wilkinson et al., 2012

  • Lifespan-extending doses of rapamycin in mice also promote the formation of cataracts, although cataracts have not been associated with rapalog treatment in humans.

    “Finally, lifespan-extending doses of rapamycin in mice also promote the formation of cataracts 25, although cataracts have not been associated with rapalog treatment in humans.”

    From Targeting the biology of aging with mTOR inhibitors (2023) · cites this paper as [25]

  • Another side effect of doses of rapamycin that extend lifespan in mice is testicular degeneration, and reduced male fertility has been observed in humans treated with rapalogs.

    “Another side effect of doses of rapamycin that extend lifespan in mice is testicular degeneration 25,144, and reduced male fertility has been observed in humans treated with rapalogs 145,146.”

    From Targeting the biology of aging with mTOR inhibitors (2023) · cites this paper as [25]

  • Inhibition of TOR activity has undesirable side-effects, such as impaired wound healing, insulin resistance, cataract and testicular degeneration in mice.

    “it also has undesirable side-effects, such as impaired wound healing, insulin resistance, cataract and testicular degeneration in mice”

    From The Hallmarks of Aging (2013) · cites this paper as Wilkinson et al., 2012

  • Rapamycin slows aging in a dose-dependent manner.

    “When rapamycin is administered late in life, it extends lifespan (Harrison et al., 2009; Miller et al., 2011), slows aging in a dose-dependent manner, shows differential effects by sex (Wilkinson et al., 2012), and is synergistic with metformin.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
