  2. 1. Neuropeptides and GABA in control of insulin producing cells in Drosophila

    Author : Jeannette Söderberg; Åsa Winther; Dick R. Nässel; Susan Broughton; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Drosophila; insulin signaling; metabolism; feeding; DTK; DSK; GABA; stress resistance; funktionell zoomorfologi; Functional Zoomorphology;

    Abstract : Insulin plays an important role in metabolic regulation as well as in growth, fecundity and stress resistance. In order to understand more about the regulation of insulin-like peptide (DILP) production and release we investigate the impact of neuropeptide (DTK) signaling and classical neurotransmitter (GABA) signaling onto the insulin producing cells of the Drosophila brain.

  4. 2. The Molecular Mechanism of Aggression and Feeding Behaviour in Drosophila melanogaster

    Author : Philip Goergen; Helgi Schiöth; Michael Williams; Simon Tuck; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Drosophila; aggression; obesity; homeostasis;

    Abstract : Obesity is a complex disorder which has become a growing health concern. Twin studies have demonstrated a strong genetic component to the development of obesity and genome wide association studies have identified several genetic loci associated with it. However, most of these loci are still poorly understood in a functional context. READ MORE
