Kaempferol maintains gut homeostasis and extends the lifespan of Drosophila. (A) Images of intestinal acid-base regulation and non-feeding intestines. The black box highlights the CCR. “Non-eating” indicates wild-type flies that did not consume food, with the CCR shown in white. “Eating” refers to flies consuming bromophenol blue. “Homeostasis” shows the CCR in yellow, while “Perturbed” depicts it in blue. (B) The percentage of eating intestines in this experiment (A). Data from three independent experiments are shown. (C) The percentage of homeostasis intestines in this experiment (A). Data from three independent experiments are shown. (D) Representative images of waste deposits in flies treated with or without Kaempferol. Three separate experiments were conducted. (E) Deposits per field in experiment (D). Results are obtained from three independent experiment data. (F, G) Survival rates of female and male wild-type flies with DMSO (blue line) or Kaempferol (red line) treatment starting at 10 days old. Results are based on three independent trials.
