The hypothesis that experimental manipulations increasing life span correlate to reduced physical activity and reduced molecular oxidative damage was tested. We used three longevity phenotypes of males and females of Pyrrhocoris apterus, diapause insects, reproductive insects and insect with ablation of the corpus allatum, an endocrine gland producing juvenile hormone. Protein carbonyl content in thoracic muscles was used as an index of molecular oxidative modification.
