Abstract excerpt
The neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) is known to be involved in a multitude of physiological processes. We investigated sexually dimorphic effects of disruptions in DA homeostasis and its relationship to senescence using three different Drosophila melanogaster mutants namely Catsup (Catsup26 ) with elevated DA levels, and pale (ple2 ), Punch (PuZ22 ) with depleted DA levels. In all genotypes including controls, DA...
