Abstract excerpt
A search for Drosophila mutants with phenotypes similar to human diseases might help to unravel evolutionary conserved genes implicated in polygenic human disorders. Among these are neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by a late onset disturbance of memory, structural brain impairments and altered content of the intermediates of the kynurenine pathway. The ratio between kynurenate (KYNA) and...
