  1. RU486 – control, without mifepristone; +RU486 – overexpression, with mifepristone; ♂ – males; ♀ – females; М – (days); 90% – age of 90% mortality (days); MRDT – mortality rate doubling time (days); α and R0 – Gompertz equation parameters; n – sample size. dМ, d90%, dMRDT – the differences in median lifespan, age of 90% mortality and MRDT estimated between -RU486 and + RU486 variants (%)
