Representative expression patterns of genes related to fat metabolism in the mosquito C. pipiens in relation to adult reproductive diapause. Proteins encoded by the genes are indicated on left. Categories include genes that are upregulated throughout diapause (putative fas-3 and fabp), early diapause genes (putative fas-1 and fad-1), late diapause genes (putative lipase, nhr-49, acd-2, hcdh-1, bk-1, and bk-2) and genes that are downregulated only in early diapause (putative cpt-2, acd-5, ech-2, ech-3, and hcdh-3).
