Insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway promotes higher fat storage in Drosophila females
In Drosophila , adult females store more fat than males. While the mechanisms that restrict body fat in males are becoming clearer, less is known about how females achieve higher fat storage. Here, we...
