Triglycerides are the major form of stored fat in all animals. One important determinant whole-body storage is whether an animal male or female. Here, we use Drosophila , established model for studies on triglyceride metabolism, to gain insight into genes and physiological mechanisms that contribute sex differences storage. Our analysis breakdown both sexes identified a role lipase brummer ( bmm ) regulation homeostasis. Normally, flies have higher levels mRNA under normal culture conditions...
Sex differences in whole-body fat storage exist many species. For example, Drosophila females store more than males. Yet, the mechanisms underlying this sex difference remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify a key role for determination gene transformer ( tra ) regulating male-female storage. Normally, functional Tra protein is present only females, where it promotes female sexual development. We show that loss of reduced storage, whereas gain males augmented Tra’s promoting was...
Alprazolam is used as an anxiolytic drug for generalized anxiety disorder and it has been reported to produce sedation anterograde amnesia. In the current study, we randomly divided 26 healthy male volunteers into two groups: one group taking alprazolam 0.5 mg other placebo daily weeks. We utilized Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) software assess chronic effect of alprazolam. selected Paired Associates Learning (PAL) Delayed Matching Sample (DMS) tests memory,...
In fruit flies, the male-specific fruitless (fru) gene product FruBM plays a central role in establishing neural circuitry for male courtship behavior by orchestrating transcription of genes required male-type specification individual neurons. We herein identify core promoter recognition factor Trf2 as dominant modifier fru actions. knockdown sexually dimorphic mAL neurons leads to loss neurite and reduction vigor. TRF2 forms repressor complex with FruBM, strongly enhancing activity at...
