The effects of transient starvation persist through direct interactions between CaMKII and ether-a-go-go K+ channels in C. elegans males

▶Transient starvation reduces muscle seizures over multiple days in re-fed animals. ▶The lasting effects of transient starvation are mediated by protein synthesis. ▶CaMKII and EAG K+ channels mediate the lasting effects of transient starvation. ▶Transiently starved animals are out-competed by well-fed animals.
