Figure 7. EcR functions in the central nervous system to promote feeding in females.

Figure 7.

Triglyceride (A) and glycogen (B) in mature adult controls (UAS-EcR-DN/+) or in animals with CNS-driven (Elav-GAL4, GAL80ts) UAS-EcR-DN. (C) Egg laying/day by females from (UAS-EcR-DN/+) and (Elav-GAL4, GAL80ts) UAS-EcR-DN) animals, N=40; error bars= 1x SD. (D,E) Feeding rate via capillary assay for the indicated genotypes, normalized to control males = 1.0. (F) Model for the role of ecdysone in metabolic sexual dimorphism. *p<0.005 **p<0.0001.
