Figure 3. Mifepristone prevents the life span decrease caused by mating.

Strains and crosses used to generate the 11 female genotypes are indicated (A-K; life span curves shown in Figure 2; statistical summary in Table 1). (A) The percent decrease in female life span caused by mating (X-axis) is compared to the percent increase in life span caused by mifepristone in mated females (Y-axis). (B) The median life span of virgin females (X-axis) is compared to the percent increase in life span caused by mifepristone in mated females (Y-axis).
