Назва : Effects of alpha-ketoglutarate on lifespan and functional aging of Drosophila melanogaster flies Місце публікування : The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal. - Київ, 2018. - Том 90, N 6. - С. 49-61 (Шифр УУ60/2018/90/6) MeSH-головна: КЕТОГЛУТАРОВЫЕ КИСЛОТЫ -- KETOGLUTARIC ACIDS СТАРЕНИЕ -- AGING ДВИГАТЕЛЬНАЯ АКТИВНОСТЬ -- MOTOR ACTIVITY ОКСИДАТИВНЫЙ СТРЕСС -- OXIDATIVE STRESS Анотація: The effects of an alpha-ketoglutarate-supplemented diet on lifespan and functional senescence were evaluated in the Canton S strain of Drosophila melanogaster. The results suggest that effects of dietary alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) are dose- and gender-dependent. In males, diets containing 1-10 mM AKG did not affect mean and maximum lifespans, except that an increased maximum lifespan observed at 10 mM AKG. Diet with 20 mM AKG shortened median lifespan and had no effect on maximum lifespan of males. In females, diets with low concentrations of AKG (1 and 5 mM) did not affect lifespan, whereas diets supplemented with 10 and 20 mM AKG increased both median and maximum lifespans. At a lifespan-prolonging concentration (10 mM), AKG decreased fecundity, increased cold resistance and had no effect on climbing activity or resistance to oxidative stress in flies of either gender at middle (24 days) and old (40 days) ages. Moreover, middle-aged AKG-fed females but not males were more resistant to heat stress that was accompanied by higher levels of HSP90 protein as compared with controls. Middle-aged flies on AKG-supplemented diets showed elevated oxidative stress and had higher total protein and triacylglycerol levels as compared with controls. Hence, anti-aging effects of AKG do not seem to be related to preventing oxidative stress development but involve metabolic rearrangement and synthesis of specific protective proteins, which aid to resist destructive processes with age Дод.точки доступу: Lylyk, M.
