Figure 2. Effects of Eisenia bicyclis extract of physiological parameters of female Drosophila. Application of EBE to female adult flies did not change the intake of nutrients over a 24 h period (A). The body weight was also not changed in response to EBE (B). The effects on body fat (C), on body glucose (D) and body protein (E) were quantified. Fecundity was quantified under both conditions (F). N≥10, mean values ± S.E.M. are given. Statistical analyses were performed with unpaired t-tests. Ns means not significant, ** means p< 0.01.
