Abstract

Food is the fuel of life. Knowledge of Drosophila nutrition is, therefore, essential for the understanding of its normal ageing process. Food has to be metabolized in order to be used for growth and maintenance of the normal functions of the organism. Metabolism is a cellular function mediated by enzymes, involved in various biochemical pathways, which in turn are controlled by genetic information coded in the DNA. Metabolism is, hence, a genetically programmed cellular activity which is modulated by external factors such as temperature, food quality and quantity. Manipulation of such external variables will, consequently, be reflected in the ageing process (see also Chapters 3 and 7.)
