A high glucose diet (HGD) is associated with many metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, a HGD increases the oxidative stress resistance of young animals but shortens their lifespan. To investigate the role of HGD feeding on the aging of aged animals, we tested for oxidative stress resistance and changes in lifespan using <i>C. elegans</i>. We showed that a HGD extends the lifespan of aged worms that are dependent on oxidative stress resistance. ...[more]
