Pregnancy in humans induces cravings for special food: the same occurs in Drosophila females. New work now shows that mating throws a nutritional switch in favor of a high-protein diet and that modulation of nutritional balance depends on the sex peptide receptor and involves neuronal TOR-S6 kinase signaling.
果蝇雌蝇也会出现同样的情况。新的研究表明,交配会使营养状况发生有利于高蛋白饮食的转变,而营养平衡的调节取决于性肽受体,涉及神经元 TOR-S6 激酶信号。
