This is the 76'th update of my fly longevity experiments. Average
temperature was 25.5 C during this run. This run tests whether the
relatively good survival obtained with the combination of 125 mg
acetyl-L-carnitine, and 25 mg lipoic acid in run #73, was due to chance or
not.
The present results indicate that this fortuitous result was indeed
due to chance. Both runs indicate that acetyl-L-carnitine by itself
slightly reduces longevity. This run indicates that 100 lipoic acid may
act to slightly increase survival.
