Examples
-
The second group lacked klotho, with the result that their phosphate levels were closer to normal.

-
The first group was genetically engineered to have a gene called klotho, leading to them having higher than normal levels of phosphate.

-
The second group of mice was missing the klotho gene and a second gene (NaPi2a), which when absent at the same time, substantially lowered the amount of phosphate in their bodies.

You might might that the klotho shortened life by some other mechanism.

-
The first group of mice was missing a gene (klotho), which when absent, causes mice to have toxic levels of phosphate in their bodies.

-
The first group of mice only had the klotho knock-out which caused high phosphate in the bodies of the mice and shorter life.

-
The third group of mice was like the second group (missing both the klotho and NaPi2a genes), except they were fed a high-phosphate diet.

-
But a second group had both klotho and a second knock-out for the NaPi2a gene which lowered phosphate.

The second group of mice was missing the klotho gene and a second gene (NaPi2a), which when absent at the same time, substantially lowered the amount of phosphate in their bodies.

It is the first time that restoring levels of klotho — a naturally occurring protein that declines in our bodies with age — has been shown to improve cognition in a primate.
