Adipose tissue of Drosophila melanogaster

摘要: Abstract After emergence into the adult stage, cells of larval fat body disappear rapidly from approximately 1000 to about 100 per fly during first 2 days and more slowly a zero level next days. Cell counts in apterous4 (ap4) adults indicate death rate is less than that wild type days, number remains relatively constant for 3 Regression analyses these data 1.6 times greater ap4 3- 5-day-old flies zero. Transplantation both or wild-type 8-day-old hosts demonstrated was same four slower recently emerged flies. Furthermore it shown slowness cell situ because internal environment permissive. Additional experiments with various ages indicated which initially restrictive becomes It also when have been exposed hostile 1 day are transplanted permissive environment, they die as cells.
