Abstract
Nutrition has long been recognized as an important factor in
influencing the health and lifespan of animals, including flies. In the present
study, the flies of Drosophila melanogaster are cultured in control,
mixed, and the test media. To understand the effect of Ensure®
nutritional supplement on longevity, the results revealed that, the flies fed
with the Ensure® media had significantly greater lifespan, compared
to mixed and control media. Further in the present study among the males and
females, the females showed a longer life span than the males in all three
diets. Hence these studies suggest that the consumption of the Ensure®
Salutary affects the longevity of Drosophila melanogaster. Thus, the
longevity sequences of flies in our experiments are as follows Test>
Mixed> control media. Suggests that consumption of Ensure® increases
the life span of Drosophila melanogaster.
