Fig 3. GPA-3 functions in ADL amphid sensory neurons to regulate intestinal fat utilization.

Fig 3

(A-B) Model depicting the transgenic rescue strategy utilized to restore gpa-3 cDNA, first in subsets of amphid neurons (A), and then in individual neuron types (B). (C) gpa-3 mutants bearing gpa-3 expression using the indicated promoter were fixed and stained with Oil Red O. Relative to non-transgenic controls (-, light bars), transgenic animals (+, dark bars) bearing the gpa-3 transgene in ADL neurons restored body fat content. Data are expressed as a percentage of body fat in wild-type animals ± SEM (n = 12–16). **, p<0.01; ***, p<0.001 by one-way ANOVA. See also S3A Fig.
