Variant Sex M (days) dM (%) 90% (days) d90% (%) MRDT (days) dMRDT (%) n
No treatment (control) males 47 68 9.25 319
Fucoxanthin treatment (experiment) males 54* 14.9 71 4.4 8.51 −8 319
No treatment (control) females 65 83 7.99 323
Fucoxanthin treatment (experiment) females 69* 6.2 83 0 7.94 −0.6 315

M - Median lifespan; 90% - age of 90% mortality (maximum lifespan); MRDT - Mortality rate doubling time; dM, d90%, dMRDT - Differences between median lifespan, age of 90% mortality, and MRDT of control and experimental flies, respectively; n - Number of flies; *p < 0.001, Gehan-Breslow-Wilcoxon test
