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.
