Figure 1.Low calorie diet is associated with increased spontaneous physical activity of Drosophila. Sum of 24-hour
spontaneous physical activity of Canton-S male (A) and female
(B) flies on a low (0.5X) and a high (1.5X) calorie food based on
collected data for days 4 and 9. Both male and female flies on 0.5X food
have increased spontaneous physical activity compared to the flies on l.5X
food. The mobility was based on the mean mobility of 3 vials with 10 male
or 10 female flies each, and expressed as mean total activity per vial
during 24 hours +/- SEM. (C) Mean total 24 hours spontaneous
activity of male and female CS flies on 0.5X and 1.5X food at age 4
and 9 expressed per vial. Statistical significance was determined by using
two-tailed Student's t-test for independent samples.
