Abstract excerpt
Insulin-like peptides (ILPs) and components of the insulin signaling pathway are conserved across different animal phyla. Eight ILPs (called DILPs) and two receptors, dInR and Lgr3, have been described in Drosophila. DILPs regulate varied physiological traits including lifespan, reproduction, development, feeding behavior, stress resistance and metabolism. At the same time, different conditions such as nutrition,...
