Abstract excerpt
The longevity of Drosophila strains has been investigated after treatment by a hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (80% solution) and a phytoecdysteroid-containing metaverone preparation (contains 5-7% of 20-hydroxyecdysone) in preimaginal stages of development. It is shown, that life expectancy of ecdysone-deficient woc strain exceeds life expectancy of wild type Canton-S strain by 46%, whereas ecdysone or metaverone...
