A role for triglyceride lipase brummer in the regulation of sex differences in Drosophila fat storage and breakdown

Triglycerides are the major form of stored fat in all animals. One important determinant of whole-body fat storage is whether an animal is male or female. Here, we use Drosophila , an established model for studies on triglyceride metabolism, to gain insight into the genes and physiological mechanism...
