dERR functions in the adult fat body to maintain lipid stores. (A,B) Whole-animal homogenates were prepared from controls (blue) or flies with adult-specific RNAi targeting dERR (red) or Pfk (green) in either the fat body (cg-GAL4, Tub-GAL80ts) or intestine (Myo1a-GAL4, Tub-GAL80ts). These samples were analyzed for glucose (A) and triglyceride (B) levels. Animals were maintained for the first 11 d of development at 18°C and subsequently transferred for the remainder of the experiment to 29°C. Data were normalized to the controls. Animals were fed a normal diet; n = 9–29 independent samples with five animals per sample. (***) P ≤ 0.001; (**) P ≤ 0.01; (ns) P > 0.05. (C,D) Bright-field images of adult fat bodies stained with Oil Red O to detect neutral lipids. Samples were collected from 6-d-old controls (C) or animals with adult-specific RNAi targeting dERR in the fat body (cg-GAL4, Tub-GAL80ts) (D). Scale bar, 50 µm.
