The effects of sucrose in varied concentrations (0.25–20%) with constant amount of yeasts in
larval diet on development and metabolic parameters of adult fruit fly Drosophila …

Varied nutritional interventions affect lifespan and metabolic health. Abundant experimental
evidence indicates that the carbohydrate restriction in the diet induces changes to support …

During the last 20 years, there has been a considerable scientific debate about the possible
mechanisms of induction of metabolic disorders by reducing monosaccharides such as …

As in mammals, high-sucrose diets lead to obesity and insulin resistance in the model
organism Drosophila melanogaster (called Drosophila hereafter). To explore the relative …

Activities of antioxidant and associated enzymes, and oxidative stress markers were
assessed in newly enclosed adult fruit flies Drosophila melanogaster developed on diets …

There are very few studies that have directly analyzed the effects of dietary intake of slowly
digestible starches on metabolic parameters of animals. The present study examined the …

The impact of nutritional factors on insect's life-history traits such as reproduction and
lifespan has been excessively examined; however, nutritional determinant of insect's …

Macronutrient balance is an important determinant of fitness in many animals, including
insects. Previous studies have shown that altering the concentrations of yeast and sugar in …

High-sugar diets cause thirst, obesity, and metabolic dysregulation, leading to diseases
including type 2 diabetes and shortened lifespan. However, the impact of obesity and water …

Several studies have been published introducing Drosophila melanogaster as a research
model to investigate the effects of high-calorie diets on metabolic dysfunctions. However …
