Increasing glucose uptake into neurons antagonizes brain aging and promotes health and life span under dietary restriction in Drosophila

Mikiko Oka, Emiko Suzuki, Akiko Asada…·Kanae Ando

This study shows that increasing glucose uptake in Drosophila neurons improves ATP levels, reduces aging-related deficits, and extends lifespan, especially under dietary restriction.
