Abstract
- Qiang Huang et al. fed C. elegans with E. coli containing phosphorothioate (PT) DNA or a control strain and evaluated the impact on animal physiology. They observed that worms fed PT( + ) diets exhibited low reactive oxygen species, more active movement, and a longer lifespan compared to controls, suggesting that PT-DNA may have a positive effect on animal health.
