Abstract
In this study, we raised the following question: “Does metamorphosis, being a “reboot” of all systems of the organism, erase the changes that occurred at earlier stages of insect development?” To answer this question, we investigated several behavioral, metabolic and neuroendocrine parameters in Drosophila melanogaster imago that had undergone heat stress at the 3rd larval instar (32 °C, 48 h). We discovered that larval stress negatively affected feeding and locomotor behavior, as well as total lipid content in adult flies. At the same time, these flies demonstrated a considerable increase in carbohydrate content and expression level of insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling (IIS) pathway genes, dfoxo, dilp6 and dInR. The data obtained allow us to conclude that metamorphosis does not erase the effect of stress exposure at early developmental stages and causes dramatic changes in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism as well as locomotor activity of adult insects, which is at least in part due to changes in IIS activity.
期刊介绍:
All aspects of insect physiology are published in this journal which will also accept papers on the physiology of other arthropods, if the referees consider the work to be of general interest. The coverage includes endocrinology (in relation to moulting, reproduction and metabolism), pheromones, neurobiology (cellular, integrative and developmental), physiological pharmacology, nutrition (food selection, digestion and absorption), homeostasis, excretion, reproduction and behaviour. Papers covering functional genomics and molecular approaches to physiological problems will also be included. Communications on structure and applied entomology can be published if the subject matter has an explicit bearing on the physiology of arthropods. Review articles and novel method papers are also welcomed.
