  2. Perturbation as method of research on metabolic organisation of individuals Bas Kooijman Dept theoretical biology Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Bas@bio.vu.nl http://www.bio.vu.nl/thb/ • Contents: • Ageing • Effects of energetics on ageing • Effects of toxicants on energetics • Effects of toxicants on ageing • Thank you Glasgow, 2009/07/01

  3. Aging module of DEB theory • damage-inducing compounds (modified nuclear and mitochondrial DNA) are generated at a rate  reserve mobilisation rate • damage-inducing compounds induce themselves at a rate  mobilisation rate • damage-inducing compounds generate damage compounds (`wrong' proteins) at constant rate, which cumulate in the body • hazard rate  density of damage compounds

  4. Aging module of DEB theory

  5. Aging: non-growing ectotherms 6.1.1 survival prob Weibull with shape parameter 3 time, d Drosophila melanogaster Data: Rose 1984

  6. Aging: growing ectotherms 6.1.1 survival prob body weight, g time, d time, d Weibull with shape 3 fits ectothermic survival well, even if growth period not small relative to life span Lymnaea stagnalis Data: Slob & Janse 1988

  7. Aging: relation to O2-use 6.1 survival prob Reodruction rate, #/d 0.374 high food 10/20°C high food 10/10°C low food 10/20°C 0.547 0.630 time, d time, d Differences in life span are caused by differences in respiration Notiophilus biguttatus Data: Ernsting & Isaaks 1997

  8. Aging: sex differentiation survival prob body weight, g time, d time, d Differences in aging between sexes are caused by differences in energy investment ratio g i.e. by max spec assimilation rate Daphnia magna Data: MacArthur & Baillie 1929

  9. Aging: ectotherms & feeding survival prob body length, cm • ad libitum • restricted 100-600 d time, d time, d Poecilia reticulata Data: Comfort, 1963

  10. Aging: endotherms & feeding feeding level 1 body weight, g embryo weight, g 0.75 0.44 time, d time, d 0.44 survival prob • Life span • hardly depends on food in ecotherms • decreases for increasing food in endotherms 0.75 1 time, d Mus musculus Data: Weindruch et al 1986 MacDowell et al 1927

  11. Effect of feeding on ageing: RNS Hazard rate, d-1 Aging acceleration, 0.001 d-2 Ultimate volume 10-12 m3 age, d age, d Food levels: 20, 30, 60, 120, 240 paramecia d-1 rotifer-1 Aging acceleration linear in food level Asplanchna girodi Data: Robertson & Salt 1981 Suggestion: Paramecia are rich in NO32- & NO22-from lettuce, which enhances ageing

  12. Aging among species Right whale slope 1/3, 1/5 Ricklefs & Finch 1995 • Conclusion for life span • hardly depends on max body size of ectotherms • increases with length in endotherms

  13. Toxic effect on survival Dieldrin affects survival hazard rate  internal conc one-compartment kinetics killing rate 0.038 l g-1 d-1 elimination rate 0.712 d-1 NEC 4.49 g l-1 Poecilia reticulata Data: Adema, unpubl.

  15. Change in target parameter Simplest basis: Change  internal conc that exceeds internal NEC or with • Rationale • effective molecules • operate independently • approximation • for small effects

  16. indirect effects mg L-1 Effects on reproduction 0, 320 assimilation 560 1000 cum # offspring/♀ 1800 Daphnia magna Phenol, 20°C 3200 direct effects maintenance cost/offspring cum # offspring/♀ growth hazard cum # offspring/♀ time, d time, d

  17. Embryonic development Crocodylus johnstoni, Data: Whitehead 1987 embryo yolk O2 consumption, ml/h weight, g time, d time, d Birth (= start of assimilation): maturity exceeds threshold Maternal effect: reserve density at birth equals that of mother Implication of increase of cost of structure: - allocation to reproduction decreases - structure at birth decreases  cost of egg decreases - hormesis: increase of reproduction rate at low effect levels
