      Expression of vridsRNA.Scer\UAS.cTa under the control of Scer\GAL4Hand.ΔVM.Switch (initiated by feeding flies RU486 during adulthood) strongly improves cardiac performance in old flies. The heart period (mean time between successive end-diastolic positions) and frequency of arrhythmia are reduced in 45 day old flies compared to age-matched controls. Expression of vridsRNA.Scer\UAS.cTa also prevents the age-related decrease in End-Diastolic Diameter (EDD) seen in wild type flies; EDD remains stable between 10 days and 45 days.
