One of the main ways by which the insulin signaling pathway might function to lower longevity is to activate mTORC1, a protein kinase complex that promotes the translation of mRNA into proteins in response to nutrients and hormones, select incorrect statement;

#5. Developmental Biology
  1. Dietary restriction reduces mTORC1 activity,
  2. Mice with reduced mTORC1 levels had longer lives, better protection against age-related cognitive dysfunction
  3. Reducing mTORC1 decreases the amount of autophagy,
  4. Increases removal and replacement of damaged organelles and senescent cells.
