Starvation resistance and lipid metabolism in Fed, 24h FD and 48h FD adult female virgin rovers and sitters. (A) Rovers starve to death faster than sitters. The average percent survival of in five starvation resistance assays with n=10 virgin female flies of each strain per trial for a total of 5 trials. (B) Adult virgin female sitters have a significantly higher homeostatic set point for lipid metabolism than rovers; this trend persists as lipid levels decrease with starvation. 4 flies/sample with the following sample sizes: n=10 sitters Fed; n=8 rovers Fed; n=10 sitters 24h FD; n=7 rovers 24h FD; n=10 sitters 48h FD; n=9 rovers 48h FD. *** = p < 0.001
