Figure 1. Glutamate regulates ISC proliferation and gut growth through mGluR.

Figure 1

a, Schematic of starvation / refeeding experiments performed.

b, Mitotic figures (phospho-histone H3 expressing nuclei), gut length, gut width, and number of Delta (Dl) expressing and non-expressing cells / field in the posterior midgut (PM).

Averages and s.e.m. are shown. P values are from Student’s t –test. For mitotic figures, n=14 flies for each genotype, representative of three independent experiments shown. For gut length, width, and cell numbers, n=9 for each control condition, n=12 flies for each mGluRNAi condition, representative of two independent experiments.
