Figure 2. Measurements of polyamine levels in wild-type w1118 whole flies in different diets. (AC) HPLC-MS measurements of spermidine (AC), spermine (DF), ornithine (GI) and putrescine (JL) in wild-type w1118 whole flies fed with 2% yeast, 12% yeast, 2% yeast + Spd, 12% yeast + Spd at 5-, 15- and 30-day-old time points respectively. n = 9 Biological samples. Each biological sample contains whole flies. Each biological sample has at least 10 whole flies for HPLC-MS measurements. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p< 0.0001, ns, not significant. Data are mean ± SEM. P-values were determined 2-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc multiple comparisons test (AL).
