Increased dietary levels of folic acid reduce survival and alters climbing behaviors 24 hours after hypoxia in male and female Drosophila melanogaster

This study shows that high dietary folic acid increases hypoxia-induced mortality and reduces climbing behavior in Drosophila melanogaster, without affecting brain apoptosis.
