Dietary restriction (DR) has long been viewed as the most robust nongenetic means to
extend lifespan and healthspan. Many aging-associated mechanisms are nutrient …

Sex differences in lifespan are well recognized in the majority of animal species. For
example, in male versus female Drosophila melanogaster there are significant differences in …

Dietary restriction (DR) delays aging and the onset of age-associated diseases. However, it
is yet to be determined whether and how restriction of specific nutrients promote longevity …

Diet plays a significant role in maintaining lifelong health. In particular, lowering the dietary
protein: carbohydrate ratio can improve lifespan. This has been interpreted as a direct effect …

Several studies have been published introducing Drosophila melanogaster as a research
model to investigate the effects of high-calorie diets on metabolic dysfunctions. However …

In this study, the effects of polyamide (PA) microplastics on Drosophila were studied by
analysing their effects on feeding, fecundity, metabolism and spontaneous activity, using …

Arguably, the most important discovery in the biology of aging to date was that simply
reducing food intake extended life and improved many aspects of health in a diversity of …

Nutrient-dependent body size plasticity differs between the sexes in most species, including
mammals. Previous work in Drosophila showed that body size plasticity was higher in …

Studies have shown that brain lipid metabolism is associated with biological aging and
influenced by dietary and genetic manipulations; however, the underlying mechanisms are …

As a polyphagous pest, Drosophila suzukii has a variety of host fruits available for feeding
and oviposition, but how the nutritional geometry of different hosts influences its metabolism …
