Effects of MagH₂ on mortality of the double mutant. The DM flies were obtained by underexpressing both mitochondrial Prxs globally with the Da-GAL4 driver. Flies were transferred to the MagH₂-containing food on day 5, or just before the onset of a rapid death. There was a significant difference (p < 0.05) in survivorship between controls and flies fed MagH₂ at optimal concentrations, 0.1 mg/ml for males and 0.3 mg/ml for females. Shown are representative data of two independent biological cohorts. Similar results were obtained in the biological replicate experiment. The data are summarized in Table 1 B.
