Figure 5.—
Changes in energy metabolism gene expression in fat-6;fat-7 double mutants compared to wild type. Gene expression was measured by QRT–PCR. The genes shown are predicted by homology to participate in C. elegans fatty acid and glucose metabolism pathways (Van Gilst et al. 2005a). Genes expressed at lower levels in fat-6;fat-7 are shown in green and genes with higher expression in fat-6;fat-7 are shown in orange (two to fourfold higher) and red (more than fourfold higher).
