Reliable Drosophila body fat quantification by a coupled colorimetric assay.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2011

Hildebrandt Anja, Bickmeyer Iris, Kühnlein Ronald P

Abstract excerpt

Factors and mechanisms controlling lipometabolism homeostasis share a remarkable evolutionary conservation between humans and Drosophila flies. Accordingly, the Drosophila model has been successfully used to understand the pathophysiology of human metabolic diseases such as obesity. Body fat stores in species as different as humans and flies consist of neutral lipids, mainly triacylglycerols. Changes in body fat...
