Background All animals must be able to adapt to changes in nutrient quality and supply. One striking aspect of this adaptive response is the extension of lifespan when caloric intake is reduced. These animals are also more resistant to various stresses, including starvation. We have characterized th...

Background Insulin signaling pathway is conserved from worms to humans. In Drosophila, three insulin-like peptides (dilps) are expressed in the insulin producing cells (IPCs) in the brain. In order to identify target genes of insulin signaling, the IPCs of female flies were destroyed during develop...

Mice used in this study were 129/sv males, 8-15 weeks of age, which were housed individually and received water ad libitum. Normal fed animals were fed before and during the 48h experiment with standard food ad libitum. Sugar fed animals were fed before the experiment with standard food ad libitum a...

The overarching goals of the ADSP are to: (1) identify new genomic variants contributing to increased risk of developing AD, (2) identify new genomic variants contributing to protection against developing AD, and (3) provide insight as to why individuals with known risk factor variants escape fro...
