Gene-diet interactions: dietary rescue of metabolic defects in <i>spen</i> -depleted Drosophila
2019-09-16
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Obesity and its co-morbidities are a growing health epidemic. Interactions between genetic background and the environment and behavior (i.e. diet) greatly influence organismal energy balance. Previously, we described obesogenic mutations in the gene Split ends (Spen) in Drosophila melanogaster , and roles for Spen in fat storage and metabolic state. In Spen-deficient storage cells lipid catabo...
