摘要: The insulin signaling pathway regulates multiple physiological processes, including energy metabolism, organismal growth, aging and reproduction. Here we show that genetic manipulations in Drosophila melanogaster impair the function of insulin-producing cells or insulin-receptor nervous system lead to increased sensitivity intoxicating effects ethanol. These findings suggest a previously unknown role for this highly conserved regulating behavioral responses an addictive drug.
