Mitochondrial parameters of male enriched strains. For all copy number values, copy number is expressed per worm. (A) mtDNA copy number (CN) of each strain, separated by sex. For copy number analysis, three biological replicates were performed. Data was assessed by two-way ANOVA for both sex and strain. Sex: p = 0.0002***, strain: p = 0.6079, interaction: p = 0.4746. (B) nuclear genome (nucDNA) copy number of each strain, separated by sex. Data was assessed by two-way ANOVA for both sex and strain. Sex: p = 0.7707, strain: p = 0.9277, interaction: p = 0.5256. (C) mtDNA: nucDNA copy number ratio of each strain, separated by sex. Data was assessed by two-way ANOVA for both sex and strain. Sex: p < 0.0001***, strain: p = 0.2810, interaction: p = 0.6026. (D) Mean ATP levels of each strain, in pmol of ATP per microgram of protein in each strain. For ATP level analysis, four biological replicates were performed. Data was assessed by a one-way ANOVA, p = 0.9625
