Loss of Mio in the fat body affects lipid metabolism. Wandering third instar FBs were isolated from control or cg-GAL4; UAS-Mioi larvae reared on 0.7 m sucrose HSDs and subjected to ESI-MS analyses. A, composition of FB TAG. B, relative chain lengths of fatty acids esterified as TAG. C, saturation of fatty acids esterified as TAG. D, NEFA concentrations. E, total ketone body concentrations. F, lipase activity measured over 4 h. An unpaired, two-tailed t test was used to derive p values. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01. Error bars are ±S.E.
