Lipid metabolism is fundamental to life. In insects, it is critical, during reproduction, flight,
starvation, and diapause. The coordination center for insect lipid metabolism is the fat body …

▪ Abstract The study of fat metabolism in insects has received considerable attention over the
years. Although by no means complete, there is a growing body of information about dietary …

The fat body plays major roles in the life of insects. It is a dynamic tissue involved in multiple
metabolic functions. One of these functions is to store and release energy in response to the …

More than a third of the world population is at constant risk of contracting some insect-
transmitted disease, such as Dengue fever, Zika virus disease, malaria, Chagas' disease …

The insect fat body is analogous to vertebrate adipose tissue and liver. In this review, the
new and exciting advancements made in fat body biology in the last decade are …

The insect fat body is an organ analogue to vertebrate adipose tissue and liver and functions
as a major organ for nutrient storage and energy metabolism. Similar to other larval organs …

Lipids are the primary storage molecules and an essential source of energy in insects during
reproduction, prolonged periods of flight, starvation, and diapause. The coordination center …

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is an emerging model system in lipid metabolism
research. Lipid droplets are omnipresent and dynamically regulated organelles found in …

In this paper we review the current status of research on fatty acid absorption and
conversion to diacylglycerol in the midgut. We further discuss how diacylglycerol may leave …

Most reviews of lipid metabolism in insects have covered all classes of lipid compounds.
Since lipids are generally defined as substances poorly soluble in water but soluble in …
