Volatile diacetyl triggers rapid fmo-2 expression through DHAP-glycerol shunt induction
Marco Giorda, Anamitra Sen, Martin S Denzel
The paper shows that diacetyl, a volatile food cue, induces the DHAP-Glycerol shunt and fmo-2 expression in C. elegans, linking olfactory signals to metabolic and behavioral responses.
