Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the fat body in fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) influences various life processes like development and reproduction, revealing trade-offs in life history traits.
- It compares longevity-selected (L) and non-selected control (C) lines, finding that L flies have less stored fat, linking lower fat mass to a longer lifespan.
- The research indicates that higher reproductive rates and activity levels in L flies increase lipid metabolism, suggesting that maintaining a balance between fecundity and fat storage could extend lifespan.
