We have identified genes regulated by starvation and sugar signals in Drosophila larvae
using whole‐genome microarrays. Based on expression profiles in the two nutrient conditions, …

… We have recently obtained evidence that free glycine level in ppl mutants is indeed
increased (MJ Pankratz, unpublished data). Furthermore, recent genetic manipulations in mice …

Feeding is a fundamental activity of all animals that can be regulated by internal energy
status or external sensory signals. We have characterized a zinc finger transcription factor, …

… This is in fact what is observed when Kr is expressed at low levels tPLroughout the embryo
under heat shock promoter control: the expression of the sixth b stripe is suppressed (MJ …

Feeding is one of the most fundamental activities of animals. Whether an animal will eat or
not depends on sensory cues concerning nutrient availability and quality as well as on its …

… in situ hybridizations were performed according to Melcher and Pankratz (2005) using
digoxigenin-, biotin-, … Pankratz, and A. Schrö ck for major technical assistance. We also thank P. …

We have isolated a Drosophila mutant, named pumpless, which is defective in food intake
and growth at the larval stage. pumpless larvae can initially feed normally upon hatching. …

10.7554/eLife.16799.001 NeuromedinU is a potent regulator of food intake and activity in
mammals. In Drosophila, neurons producing the homologous neuropeptide hugin regulate …

We have monitored global changes in gene expression in mouse liver in response to fasting
and sugar-fed conditions using high-density microarrays. From ∼20,000 different genes, …

Monoamine serotonin (5HT) has been linked to aggression for many years across species [1–3].
However, elaboration of the neurochemical pathways that govern aggression has …
