Effects of dietary composition on life span of Drosophila buzzatii and its short-lived sibling species D. koepferae.

abstract：:We used the Fischer 344 rat as a model for aging effects on the heart. Cardiac interfibrillar mitochondria (IFM), located between the myofibrils, exhibit a decrease in protein yield and oxidative phosphorylation through complex III and IV in elderly (24 months) compared to adult controls (6 months). In contrast, subsa...
