Drosophila melanogaster flies were exposed to hypergravity starting at two days of age, the range of gravity levels used being 2.58-7.38 g. No longevity change was observed for exposures of less than 14 days. The longevity of males increased if they were submitted to hypergravity for durations ranging from 14 to 24 days. This increase in longevity was never observed in females. The positive effect of exposure to hypergravity has been replicated in two laboratories using two wild-type strains and different rearing conditions. A short hypergravity exposure seems to be a mild stress, yielding positive effects on longevity. This is in accordance with two previous studies showing a slight longevity increase after heat shock in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and in Drosophila melanogaster.
