Figure 5. The effect of AuNPs on larva fat metabolism is dependent on Akt/mTOR signaling.

Figure 5

(A) (B) In standard diet (A) and CR (B), the increase in larva TAG levels by dietary AuNPs was abolished when the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway was blocked by rapamycin. *, P<0.05. ns, not significant. (C) (D) Increased expression of FAS (C) and ACC (D) by dietary AuNPs was abolished when the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway was blocked. **, P<0.01. ns, not significant. (E) A diagram for the effect of dietary AuNPs on larva fat metabolism.
