Abstract excerpt
Although studies in C. elegans have identified numerous genes involved in fat storage, the next step is to determine how these factors actually affect in vivo lipid metabolism. We have developed a (13)C isotope assay to quantify the contribution of dietary fat absorption and de novo synthesis to fat storage and membrane lipid production in C. elegans, establishing the means by which worms obtain and process fatty...
