The research of our laboratory appears to be promising in demonstrating the outcome of an extended lifespan when aged C. elegans are fed a high glucose diet. On the other hand, young C. elegans are known have a reduced lifespan when fed a high glucose diet. Building upon the study of aged C. elegans...
