A Study on the Quality and Identity of Brazilian Pampa Biome Honey: Evidences for Its Beneficial Effects against Oxidative Stress and Hyperglycemia

Figure 3

Effect of honey and sugars on Drosophila melanogaster lifespan. Flies were treated in standard medium over the course of the treatment schedule. The control group received standard medium only; honey group was administered a 10% honey solution (w/w) and the glucose + sucrose (glu + suc) group received equivalent amounts of sugars (as to the amount present in 10% honey). Lifespan was followed during 45 days. Statistically significant differences were observed between groups starting after the 10th day of treatment ().
