Sertraline consumption does not impact fecundity or egg hatching frequency in Drosophila. (a) Amount of liquid consumed by 8 adult female flies during 8 hours from a single capillary tube in a CAFE apparatus. Each tube contained either 5% sucrose or 250 μg/ml sertraline in 5% sucrose. N = 30, error bars represent SEM. p < 0.0001, unpaired two-tailed t test. (b) Egg laying calculated as the number of eggs laid by one female per hour after treatment with either sucrose or 250 μg/mL sucrose + sertraline solution. N = 7, error bars represent SEM. p = 0.72, unpaired two-tailed t-test. (c) Percentage of eggs hatched one day and two days after egg laying (AEL) by mothers fed either sucrose solution or 250 μg/ml sertraline solution. N = 5–7 replicates for each condition, error bars represent SEM. p = 0.18 after 1 day and p = 0.11 after 2 days, unpaired two-tailed t-test.
