Changes in free amino acid level due to physical and chemical agents in ageing Drosophila
Experientia
|August 15, 1979
Abstract:
The effects of gamma rays and caffeine on total free amino acids were assessed in unirradiated and irradiated ageing Drosophila. As age advances, there is a rise in the quantity of free amino acids in untreated males and females. Gamma rays and caffeine strongly reduce the level of free amino acids in both the sexes.
