Functional Implications of Drosophila insulin-like peptides in metabolism, aging and dietary restriction

AbstractThe neuroendocrine architecture and insulin/insulin-like signaling (IIS) events in Drosophila are remarkably conserved. As IIS pathway governs growth and development, metabolism, reproduction, stress response and longevity; temporal, spatial and nutrient regulation of dilps encoding Drosoph...
