    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. Data suggest that, under high glucose conditions, mitochondria-mediated oxidative stress and glycation are downstream targets of ins-7; this impairs neuronal system function and longevity via non-neuronal/neuronal crosstalk by affecting sod-3 and glod-4. (ins-7 = insulin related Probable insulin-like peptide beta-type 4; sod-3 = mitochondrial Mn+2 superoxide dismutase; glod-4 = glyoxalase 1)
