The epicurean fly: using Drosophila melanogaster to study metabolism.

Pediatric research - 1 Feb 2009

Bharucha Kamal N

Abstract excerpt

In this review, the utility of Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism for research in metabolism will be demonstrated. Importantly, many metabolic pathways are conserved in both man and the fly. Recent work has highlighted that these conserved molecular pathways have the potential to give rise to similar phenotypes. For example, it has proven possible to generate obese and diabetic Drosophila; conversely,...
