Sucrose metabolism in plastids.
The question whether sucrose (Suc) is present inside plastids has been long debated. Low Suc levels were reported to be present inside isolated chloroplasts, but these were argued to be artifacts of the isolation procedures used. We have introduced Suc-metabolizing enzymes in plastids and our experiments suggest substantial Suc entry into plastids. The enzyme levansucrase from Bacillus subtilis...
متن کاملSexually dimorphic effects of dietary sugar on lifespan, feeding and starvation resistance in Drosophila
Lifespan and health in older age are strongly influenced by diet. Feeding Drosophila melanogaster diets high in sugar has increasingly been used as an experimental model to understand the physiological effects of unhealthy, contemporary human diets. Several metabolic parameters and physiological responses to nutrition are known to be dependent on the sex of the animal. However, sexual dimorphis...
متن کاملG×G×E for Lifespan in Drosophila: Mitochondrial, Nuclear, and Dietary Interactions that Modify Longevity
Dietary restriction (DR) is the most consistent means of extending longevity in a wide range of organisms. A growing body of literature indicates that mitochondria play an important role in longevity extension by DR, but the impact of mitochondrial genotypes on the DR process have received little attention. Mitochondrial function requires proper integration of gene products from their own genom...
متن کاملRegulation of sn-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in Drosophila melanogaster larvae by dietary ethanol and sucrose.
Dietary sucrose and ethanol are potent modulators of sn-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) in the third instar larvae of Drosophila melanogaster. When added to modified Sang's medium C, 428 mM ethanol and 146 mM sucrose each increased the GPDH tissue activity more than 90% and GPDH cross-reacting material (CRM) more than 50% over the levels found in larvae fed the 14.6 mM sucrose control...
متن کاملEpigallocatechin gallate affects glucose metabolism and increases fitness and lifespan in Drosophila melanogaster
In this study, we tested whether a standardized epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) rich green tea extract (comprising > 90% EGCG) affects fitness and lifespan as well as parameters of glucose metabolism and energy homeostasis in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. Following the application of the green tea extract a significant increase in the mean lifespan (+ 3.3 days) and the 50% survival ...
