METHODS: We reared male larvae and adults of Drosophila under different food conditions and performed lifespan analyses in F2 generation.
OBJECTIVES: In this study we tested the effect of nutrition on longevity of future generations in Drosophila and whether this is sex-specific. In support, recent findings in Caenorhabditis elegans revealed nutritional effects on transgenerational longevity. 47-54, 2016īACKGROUND: Statistical analyses in human populations have associated limited food availability during development with increased longevity of next generations.
