Effective control of the common house fly, Musca domestica, through manipulation of its diet is an innovation that could be pursued. A 4:1 carbohydrate-protein diet established for optimal performance in house fly and Drosophila was altered in this study with the addition of two lipid sources. The metabolic and fitness responses of fed house flies were then compared to conspecifics that were reared on the reference 4:1 diet. Generally, dietary lipids resulted in smaller and lighter progeny in addition to shorter adult longevity. This fitness reduction was accompanied by higher catalase activity and malondialdehyde concentration; an evidence of higher levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which have been implicated in fitness reduction. While the 4:1 carbohydrate-protein diet may be ideal for rearing purposes, addition of a lipid source (especially fish oil) would offer a level of pest control.

膳食脂质对家蝇生化活性和适应性的影响，家蝇（双翅目：蝇科）

通过调整饮食来有效控制家蝇家蝇是一项可以追求的创新。在本研究中，为家蝇和果蝇的最佳表现而建立的 4:1 碳水化合物 - 蛋​​白质饮食改变了，添加了两种脂质来源。然后将喂食的家蝇的代谢和健康反应与在参考 4:1 饮食中饲养的同种进行比较。一般来说，除了较短的成年寿命外，膳食脂质还会导致后代更小、更轻。这种适应性降低伴随着更高的过氧化氢酶活性和丙二醛浓度；较高水平的活性氧 (ROS) 与健康降低有关的证据。虽然 4:1 碳水化合物 - 蛋​​白质饮食可能是饲养目的的理想选择，
