TY - BOOK AU - Müller-Eigner, Annika PY - 2023 DA - 2023// TI - Assessing the impact of sodium butyrate and a light-activated proton pump on energy metabolism and lifespan of Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans PB - Universität Rostock CY - Rostock AB - In this thesis, the impact of sodium butyrate (SB) on mitochondrial and metabolic function and lifespan was investigated. SB treatment showed a rapid and transient increase in oxygen consumption in fly heads. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed incorporation of labeled SB into mitochondrial pathway metabolites. An SB-independent way for mitochondrial activation was assessed in this work. The mitochondrial membrane potential of C. elegans was increased, using a light-activated proton pump, resulting in an extended median lifespan, even if the intervention took part in mid- or late-staged worms.
