Mosquito aging modulates the heart rate and the proportional directionality of heart contractions.
Journal of Insect Physiology(2017)
Abstract
•The mosquito heart rate increases over the first 15days of adulthood and then decreases.•Aging reduces the percentage of time the heart contracts anterograde.•Aging reduces the percentage of heart contractions that propagate anterograde.•Data are suggestive of superoxide dismutase and vinculin modulating heart physiology.
