Study in fruit flies reports that reducing Earth's geomagnetic field alters mitochondrial function, reactive oxygen species, locomotion, and lifespan differently by genotype.
Key Takeaways
- Hypomagnetic field exposure increased lifespan by 20% in Pink1 loss-of-function Drosophila melanogaster.
- Wild-type Drosophila showed decreased lifespan but improved climbing performance under hypomagnetic conditions.
- Hypomagnetic exposure elevated mitochondrial complex II activity and increased superoxide levels measured by NV diamond sensors.
