An in vivo screen for neuronal genes involved in obesity identifies diacylglycerol kinase as a regulator of insulin secretion
ConclusionAltogether, we have identified several genes that act within the CNS to regulate energy homeostasis. One of these, Dgk, acts within the insulin-producing cells to regulate the secretion of dILPs and energy homeostasis in Drosophila.Graphical abstract
