Gene expression changes in response to aging compared to heat stress, oxidative stress and ionizing radiation in Drosophila melanogaster
Figure 1. Hsp70 and l(2]ef) RNA levels in response to selected stresses.
Quantitative real-time RT-PCR analysis was used to determine RNA levels for the genes Hsp70 and l(2)efl in response to selected stresses, in both male and female flies, as indicated. HS, heat stress; IR, ionizing radiation. Stress treatment RNA levels were compared to control using unpaired, two-sided t-tests, and statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) are indicated with asterisk.
