Lifespan can be extended by a sublethal dose of a stressor in early life. In C. elegans treatment early in life with a pusle of high temperature, high oxygen pressure, or oxidative stress extends lifespan [Cypser and Johnson 2002]. Exposure to high temperature, starvation, or mitochondrial poisoning causes an increase in the AMP/ATP ratio [11707916].
