A low sugar diet enhances Drosophila body size in males and females via sex-specific mechanisms

J. W. Millington, L. W. Wat, Z. Sun, P. J. Basner-Collins, G. P. Brownrigg, E. J. Rideout

This study shows that a low sugar diet increases body size in both male and female Drosophila larvae, but affects their insulin/TOR signaling and metabolism differently.

Genetic manipulation of insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway activity has sex-biased effects on Drosophila body size

J. W. Millington, G. P. Brownrigg, P. J. Basner-Collins, Z. Sun, E. Rideout

This study shows that altering insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling (IIS) activity in Drosophila larvae has sex-biased effects on body size, with inhibition reducing female size more than males and augmentation increasing male size more than females.

Female-specific upregulation of insulin pathway activity mediates the sex difference in Drosophila body size plasticity

J. W. Millington, C. Chao, Z. Sun, P. J. Basner-Collins, G. P. Brownrigg, L. W. Wat, B. Hudry, I. Miguel-Aliaga, E. J. Rideout

The paper identifies a female-specific increase in insulin pathway activity as the mechanism behind sex differences in nutrient-dependent body size plasticity in Drosophila.
