The variables were: form of antioxidant (Acai fruit vs Luteolin supplement), the concentration of antioxidant, gender, and age. It was discovered that exposure to antioxidants is harmful to fruit fly longevity. Also, antioxidants did not improve young fly fertility significantly. In certain cases, antioxidants doubled the fertility of older flies. |
