C. elegans is used as a model system to study the molecular mechanisms underlying diabetic hyperglycemia-induced reduction in life-span; studies in the mev-1 mutant strain of C. elegans, which carries a mutation in the cytochrome b subunit of succinate dehydrogenase and displays increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, in analogy to the situation observed in insulin-resistance, indicate that an impaired proteosomal degradation system and accumulation of misfolded/unfolded proteins underlies glucose induced life-span reduction.
