... and untreated diets. Deceased flies were counted three times a week. (A) Comparison of life span on the original cornmeal CA and enriched CA+ foods demonstrates that elevated calcium and magnesium improves resistance to dietary Mn (CA-Mn and CA+-Mn). (B) Life span of flies on Mn-treated molasses (M-Mn...

... resource for investigating the mechanisms of sleep regulation. Our data show that flies with short-sleep periods have ∼16% longer life span, as well as reduced aging rate, compared to flies with long-sleep. In contrast, disrupting normal circadian rhythm reduces fly longevity. Short-sleep SIP flies...
