Composition of food media influences Con-Ex. Control r[A] females consumed the indicated media labeled with 1% Blue 1 and excreted waste for 24 h. ExVial + INT was greater in flies that consumed 0.25X medium than in flies fed 1.0 × 2Y10S3C medium (panel A, *two-tailed t test, p < 0.0001, n = 16), in flies fed medium containing 2% yeast (2Y10S3C) compared to 30% yeast (30Y10S3C) (panel B, *two-tailed t test, p < 0.0001, n = 8) and in flies fed medium containing 10% sucrose (2Y10S3C) compared to 30% sucrose (2Y30S3C) (panel C, *two-tailed t test, p = 0.0003, n = 8). (D) ExVial + INT was indistinguishable in flies fed medium containing 3% cornmeal (2Y10S3C) and 10% cornmeal (2Y10S10C) (two-tailed t test, p = 0.2532, n = 8).
