Figure 4. Calorie restriction enhances effects of AuNPs on fat metabolism and Akt signaling.

Figure 4

(A) Dietary AuNPs increased larva TAG levels by 10% in standard food, and by 20% under the condition of calorie restriction (CR). *, P<0.05. (B) Under CR, larvae fed with AuNPs showed increased Akt activity compared to the control (lane 4 vs. lane 3). (C) (D) Under CR, larvae fed with AuNPs (D) had higher PI3K activity in the fat body compared to the control (C).
