Brain dopamine imbalance causes follicle death and underlies negative effect of high sugar diet during <i>Drosophila</i> oogenesis
2025-04-29
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Unhealthy diets, obesity, and low fertility are associated in Drosophila and humans. We previously showed that a high sugar diet, but not obesity, reduces Drosophila female fertility owing to increased death of newly formed germline cysts and vitellogenic follicles. Drosophila strains carrying mutations in the yellow ( y ) and white ( w ) pigmentation genes are routinely used for investig...
