Table 1

Ecdysteroid concentration in 𝑀^I and 𝐹^man males. Ecdysteroid levels in hemolymph samples prepared from adult flies were measured by radioimmuno assay (see, Section 2): (𝐧) number of adult flies pooled.

	Ecdysteroid concentration (pg/𝜇L)
Fly strain	females	(𝑛)	males	(𝑛)
Standard XX/XY	28.5	(98)	7.5	(200)
𝑀^I	18.8	(150)	5.1	(150)
𝐹^man	16.2	(118)	8.2	(258)
