Internal lithium levels in control and Shu mutants after treatment with different concentrations of LiCl.
| Fly | 25 mm LiCl | 50 mm LiCl | 100 mm LiCl |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 0.176 ± 0.011 | 0.303 ± 0.053 | 0.614 ± 0.11 |
| Shu/+ | 0.321 ± 0.044* | 0.503 ± 0.055* | 0.935 ± 0.15 |
Lithium levels in CS and Shu females after 5 d of treatment with 25, 50, and 100 mm LiCl. Internal lithium levels were elevated in LiCl-treated (25 or 50 mm) Shu flies relative to wild-type counterparts. Data are mean ± SEM of three independent experimental groups of 20 flies. *p < 0.05; Student’s t-test.
