Abstract
⺠Long-term ethanol exposure has hormetic effects on Caenorhabditis elegans. ⺠Low-concentration ethanol extends lifespan of C. elegans. ⺠The lifespan-extending effects of ethanol are dependent on the insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway. ⺠Low-concentration ethanol slows the effects of aging on mobility. ⺠C. elegans is a suitable animal model to study ethanol related problems.
