Data shown as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). **p < 0.01, two-tailed Student’s t-test. (H) Percent body fat in virgin 5-day-old w1118 male and female flies. Larvae were reared on sugar–yeast–cornmeal food and transferred to food supplemented with 0 or 10 mM auxin at eclosion. Both females and males showed a significant decrease in percent body fat when maintained on a diet supplemented with the recommended auxin concentration (p < 0.0001 and p = 0.01, respectively; two-way analysis of variance [ANOVA]). Adult females showed a greater reduction in body fat compared with males in response to auxin exposure (sex:diet interaction p = 0.001; two-way ANOVA). (I) Percent body fat in virgin w1118 male and female flies. Larvae were reared on sugar–yeast–cornmeal food, and transferred to three different diets at eclosion: (1) sugar–yeast–cornmeal diet with no auxin, (2) sugar–yeast–cornmeal diet supplemented with 10 mM auxin for 5 days then shifted to sugar–yeast–cornmeal food with 0 mM auxin for 5 days, (3) sugar–yeast–cornmeal diet supplemented with 10 mM auxin for 10 days. Flies were collected for analysis at 5 and 10 days post-eclosion. Adult females showed a greater reduction in body fat compared with males in response to auxin exposure (sex:diet interaction p < 0.0001; two-way ANOVA). While percent body fat showed a strong trend toward recovery from 5 days of auxin treatment in females (p = 0.056; one-way ANOVA), body fat was still lower than in control females that had not been exposed to auxin (p = 0.0095, one-way ANOVA). This trend toward recovery in body fat was not observed in males (p = 0.946, one-way ANOVA). Prolonged (10-day) exposure to 10 mM auxin caused no further decrease in body fat compared with a shorter (5-day) exposure in either females or males (p = 0.1156 and 0.9890, respectively; one-way ANOVA). **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001, two-tailed Student’s t-test.
