Dietary sucrose determines the regulatory activity of lithium on gene expression and lifespan in Drosophila melanogaster

class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 5. The dietary sucrose content affects the number of genes differentially expressed by lithium. Genes differentially expressed (FDR p-value ≤ 0.05) by (A) 0.1 mM LiCl or (B) 1 mM LiCl supplemented to the experiential diet prepared with either 1%, 5% or 10% sucrose. Overall, the number of genes differentially expressed by lithium in female flies was highest when supplemented to the diet with lowest sucrose content of only 1 %. Suc., sucrose.
