Table 1. Effects of OAMB and 5-HT1A knockdown in various assays.
Assays with adult flies | Effect | Likely effect on insulin signaling1 (output) | Different effects | ||
OAMB-Ri | 5-HT1A-Ri | OAMB-Ri | 5-HT1A-Ri | ||
Starvation resistance | Increase | Decrease | Decrease | Increase | Yes* |
Food intake (CAFE) | Increase | Decrease | Increase | Decrease | Yes* |
Glucose (in circulation) | NE | Increase | NE | Decrease | Yes |
Trehalose (in circulation) | NE | NE | NE | NE | No |
Glycogen (stored) | NE | Increase | NE | Decrease | Yes |
Trehalose (stored) | NE | Increase | NE | Decrease | Yes |
Dilp2 transcript | NE | Up | NE | Increase | Yes |
Dilp3 transcript | Up | NE | Increase | NE | Yes |
Dilp5 transcript | NE | Up | NE | Increase | Yes |
Oxidative stress resistance | Increase | Increase | Decrease | Decrease | No |
IPC cell body size | NE | NE | NE | NE | No |
Body weight | NE | NE | NE | NE | No |
NOTES: 1 This assumes that targeted receptor RNAi is similar to inactivating the receptor, which of course is not entirely correct. NE, no effect; * indicates opposite effect for the two knockdowns.
