UASt regulatory sequences drive expression of an inverted repeat.
The body size and weight of third instar feeding larvae and 5 day old male flies expressing AdipoRGD3112 under the control of Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR are not different from those of controls.
Haemolymph trehalose and glucose levels under fed conditions are significantly increased compared to controls in larvae and adults expressing AdipoRGD3112 under the control of Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR. Total body triglyceride is increased by 13-20% in the mutant larvae and adults under fed conditions.
Flies expressing AdipoRGD3112 under the control of Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR survive longer than controls under starvation conditions, while they are more sensitive to a high fat diet than controls.
Adults expressing AdipoRGD3112 under the control of Scer\GAL4elav.PLu (in the presence of Dcr-2Scer\UAS.cDa to increase the efficiency of RNAi) do not show a significant defect in avoidance of noxious temperature (46[o]C) compared to control flies.
Expression under the control of Scer\GAL4pnr-MD237 may result in lethality, depending on the insertion line used.
