Dietary Restriction in Genetically Distinct Strains of Fruit Fly

Caption

Each of the analyzed fly strains arranged by response to dietary restriction. The overlapping bars show the increase or decrease in lifespan (grey bars) or healthspan (purple bars) when that fly strain underwent dietary restriction. Most strains show positive responses, but a number of strains show negative responses (e.g., the grey bars on the left of the graph lived shorter under dietary restriction).
