Abstract excerpt
Circadian clocks regulate a myriad of physiological processes rhythmically throughout the day in most organisms. Our study focuses on a relatively less-studied neuropeptide CCHamide1 (CCHa1), expressed in the Drosophila melanogaster gut and the central circadian clock in the brain. We investigated the role of ccha1 on sleep under altered dietary conditions, as well as its impact on metabolism and fitness in...
