β‐Guanidinopropionic acid extends the lifespan of Drosophila melanogaster via an AMP‐activated protein kinase‐dependent increase in autophagy

Previous studies have demonstrated that AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) controls autophagy through the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and Unc‐51 like kinase 1 (ULK1/Atg1) signaling, which augments the quality of cellular housekeeping, and that β‐guanidinopropionic acid (β‐GPA), a creatine...
