Is a fat metabolite the major diet dependent accelerator of aging?

Previous work with a high fat/low carbohydrate diet indicated that Drosophila melanogaster aged faster on that diet than on a high carbohydrate/low fat diet. Thsi could be due to one of eight possibilities enumerated. Describes experiments sifting these possibilities. These results are consistent wi...

Summary:Previous work with a high fat/low carbohydrate diet indicated that Drosophila melanogaster aged faster on that diet than on a high carbohydrate/low fat diet. Thsi could be due to one of eight possibilities enumerated. Describes experiments sifting these possibilities. These results are consistent with the possibility that fat or a fat metabolite alters the rate of aging. (Original abstract--Amended)
