Prenatal hyperbaric normoxia treatment improves healthspan and regulates chitin metabolic genes in Drosophila melanogaster
Figure 3. Increased healthspan in HN-treated flies. HN exposure led to increased mean lifespan by 12% in males (A) p <0.0001) and by 14% in females (B) p <0.0001. HN-treated flies showed a significant higher climbing performance then control groups (C) male, p =0.0007; (D) female, p = 0.028. (E) HN exposure did not affect the fecundity while there was decreased fertility at day 8 (p =0.009). Error bars denote SEM. Values with different superscripts are significantly different at p <0.05 (* = p <0.05, ** = p <0.01, *** = p <0.01).
