Obesity-blocking neurons in DrosophilaBader Al-Anzi
Division of Biology, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA
Neuron 63:329-41. 2009..Our results show that the fly brain measures fat store levels and can induce changes in food intake and metabolism to maintain them within normal limits...
The Drosophila immunoglobulin gene turtle encodes guidance molecules involved in axon pathfindingBader Al-Anzi
Division of Biology 156 29, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA
Neural Dev 4:31. 2009..However, a large number of commissural axons successfully cross the midline even in the complete absence of netrin signaling, indicating the presence of a yet unidentified midline attractant...
The leucokinin pathway and its neurons regulate meal size in DrosophilaBader Al-Anzi
Division of Biology, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA
Curr Biol 20:969-78. 2010..The physiological mechanisms that regulate meal size have been studied in blowflies but have not been previously examined in Drosophila...
Colorimetric measurement of triglycerides cannot provide an accurate measure of stored fat content in DrosophilaBader Al-Anzi
Division of Biology, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California, United States of America
PLoS ONE 5:e12353. 2010..We also show here that using thin-layer chromatography to measure stored triglycerides in flies eliminates all of these problems...
Response of Drosophila to wasabi is mediated by painless, the fly homolog of mammalian TRPA1/ANKTM1Bader Al-Anzi
Division of Biology 156 29, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91125, USA
Curr Biol 16:1034-40. 2006..Our results suggest that the stinging sensation of isothiocyanate is caused by activation of an evolutionarily conserved molecular pathway that is also used for nociception...
