Alterations in brain glycogen levels influence life-history traits and reduce the lifespan in female Drosophila melanogaster
Sexual dimorphism in lifespan, wherein females outlive males, is evident across all animal taxa. The longevity difference between sexes is controlled by multiple physiological processes with complex relationships to one another. In recent years, glycogen, the storage form of glucose, has been shown...
