Glucose has been shown to shorten lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans. The connection of glucose to stress resistance in C. elegans, however, appears to be complex. We have shown glucose to be protective against heat stress early in adulthood (1-day-old adults), in both wild-type (WT, N2 strain) anim...
