Hypoxic survival of Drosophila correlates with sucrose intake. A. Relationship between hypoxic survivals (measured after 72 hours of hypoxia) and daily sucrose ingestion. The dotted line shows the survival of starving flies exposed to a source of water. Only flies fed on 5S, 10S and 10S-10Y diets lived longer than starving flies. B. Exposure of flies to yeast reduced sucrose intake. Data presented in Figures 3B and 3C are reproduced to highlight the effect of yeast on sucrose intake. *** p < 0.01 as compared to pure sucrose conditions (filled bars)
