Female-biased upregulation of insulin pathway activity mediates the sex difference in Drosophila body size plasticity

Jason W. Millington et al.

Summary: This study found that a protein-rich diet increases body size in female fruit flies, but not males, by enhancing the activity of the conserved insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway (IIS). The sex-biased upregulation of IIS activity in females is triggered by a diet-induced increase in stunted mRNA, revealing new sex-specific roles for certain genes. Additionally, the sex determination gene transformer promotes the diet-induced increase in stunted mRNA via the transcriptional coactivator Spargel to regulate the difference in body size plasticity between males and females.

The Drosophila model to interrogate triacylglycerol biology

Christoph Heier et al.

Summary: The deposition of storage fat in the form of triacylglycerol (TAG) is a conserved strategy to cope with energy availability and metabolic stress. The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has been established as a model system to study TAG metabolism and the etiology of lipid-associated metabolic diseases, showing potential in understanding the genetic and dietary basis of TAG storage and related disorders.

AKH Signaling in D. melanogaster Alters Larval Development in a Nutrient-Dependent Manner That Influences Adult Metabolism

Bryon N. Hughson et al.

Summary: Metabolism, growth, and development are intricately linked in Drosophila melanogaster, where AKH signaling and cGMP-dependent protein kinase dg2 play crucial roles in mediating the effects of nutrient stress on larval development. This study reveals a novel pathway in which AKH signaling regulates larval development by modulating calcium levels in the prothoracic gland, providing insights into how metabolic signals can impact developmental trajectories into adulthood in insects.

A sex-specific switch between visual and olfactory inputs underlies adaptive sex differences in behavior

Tetsuya Nojima et al.

Summary: This study reveals a novel sexual dimorphism in Drosophila melanogaster, where sexual differentiation of only a small number of higher order neurons in the brain leads to changes in connectivity related to the primary reproductive needs of both sexes, allowing for completely different behavioral repertoires to be deployed in males and females.

Hormone-sensitive lipase: sixty years later

Emeline Recazens et al.

Summary: Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is a key neutral lipase with broad substrate specificity and unique structural features, making it distinct from other mammalian lipases. Dysregulation of HSL expression and activity can lead to various diseases, including obesity and diabetes. The development of specific inhibitors targeting HSL positions it as a pharmacological target for the treatment of metabolic complications.

Impact of high-fat diet on lifespan, metabolism, fecundity and behavioral senescence in Drosophila

Sifang Liao et al.

Summary: The study shows that long-term exposure to a high-fat diet reduces the lifespan of fruit flies, accelerates decline in climbing ability, and increases sleep fragmentation. The diet also leads to elevated levels of adipokinetic hormone transcript, enlarged crop, and increased lipid stores. Additionally, AKH plays a crucial role in regulating the effects of HFD on lifespan and fecundity in fruit flies.

The sugar-responsive enteroendocrine neuropeptide F regulates lipid metabolism through glucagon-like and insulin-like hormones in Drosophila melanogaster

Yuto Yoshinari et al.

Summary: Invertebrates, like fruit flies, possess a hormone similar to incretins found in mammals, such as neuropeptide F, which regulates glucagon and insulin secretion in response to sugar through NPF receptor signaling, promoting lipid anabolism.
