Alpha index analysis of InR^p5545/TM3 D. melanogaster on an inulin-supplemented diet or a standard diet.

	Standard Diet Male	Standard Diet Female	Inulin Male	Inulin Female
ACE	25.74 ± 0.13	25.59 ± 4.68 (p = 0.966)	29.13 ± 2.74 (p = 0.155)	31.43 ± 9.24 (p = 0.753, 0.470)
Chao1	24.36 ± 0.69	24.17 ± 3.97 (p = 0.949)	33.67 ± 8.18 (p = 0.184)	25.72 ± 2.44 (p = 0.258, 0.661)
Shannon	1.40 ± 0.06	1.86 ± 0.29 (p = 0.094)	0.92 ± 0.36 (p = 0.135)	1.78 ± 0.40 (p = 0.087, 0.819)
Simpson	0.43 ± 0.02	0.64 ± 0.07 (p = 0.013)	0.28 ± 0.13 (p = 0.198)	0.57 ± 0.15 (p = 0.112, 0.601)

Note: Values are the mean ± SD (n = 3); the p value for the Standard diet Female was the Standard diet Female vs. Standard diet Male; the p value for Inulin Male was the Inulin Male vs. Standard diet Male; the first p value for Inulin Female was the Inulin Female vs. Inulin Male; and the second p value for Inulin Female was the Inulin Female vs. Standard diet Female.
