Table 4.
Effects of CAR treatments on the Drosophila melanogaster mean lifespan and healthspan.
| CAR (mg/mL) | Mean Lifespan (Days) |
Mean Lifespan Difference (%) a | Healthspan (80th Percentile) (Days) |
Healthspan Difference (%) a |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 64 ± 3.16 | 0 | 31.21 ± 2.37 | 0 |
| 0.125 | 59.65 ± 2.4 | −6.8 | 31.03 ± 2.12 | −0.5 |
| 0.25 | 60.83 ± 2.73 | −4.9 | 33.68 ± 2.44 | 7.6 |
| 1 | 62.8 ± 2.78 | −1.9 | 30.88 ± 2.1 | −1.1 |
| 4 | 59 ± 3.35 | −7.9 | 37.54 ± 4 | 20.28 |
a The difference was calculated by comparing treated flies with the concurrent water control. Positive numbers indicate lifespan increase, and negative numbers indicate lifespan decrease. Data are expressed as mean value ± SE.
