Enhanced Locomotor Activity Is Required to Exert Dietary Restriction-Dependent Increase of Stress Resistance in Drosophila

Figure 2

Wing clipping does not induce weight gain. Eclosed normal adult flies were reared either on restricted diet (DR, 0.5% YE) or ad libitum (AL, 5% YE). At the age of 1 day and 10 days, fly weight in each group was measured. The effect of wing clipping on weight gain was examined at the age of 1 day and 10 days by measuring whole body weight of wing-clipped flies reared in the same condition as for the normal flies. Data are represented as mean ± S.E.M, for each condition.
