Abstract excerpt
The research shows that unirradiated Drosophila lines with defects of DNA repair, antioxidant protection and apoptosis have higher speed of ageing, than wild type line. At the same time, depending on the line genotype, the irradiation results in change of life span. Mechanism of postponed effect of low dozes of ionizing radiation on the life span is elaborated. As cells with weakened protection will accumulate...
