On the Very Rapid Enhancement by D2O of the Temperature-Tolerance of Adult Drosophila

Deuterium oxide, D2O, increases the temperature-tolerance of Drosophila pseudoobscura when it is administered to adult flies as a sucrose solution. The effect is very rapidly exerted; it is detected within 10 min after the flies have a brief (10 min) opportunity to drink. This increased resistance t...
