Abstract excerpt
When normal-lived Ra strain Drosophila were indirectly selected for longevity, they gave rise to long-lived La strain animals with lower oxidized protein and lipid levels that were temporally coincident with higher antioxidant activities. We wanted to determine whether it was possible to create long-lived animals by a direct selection for increased antioxidant activities. Using the same Ra strain, we selected...
