Essay

The thesis aimed to study the interferences between carbohydrate metabolism and free radical processes in fruit fly D. melanogaster upon feeding by various carbohydrates such as glucose, fructose, sucrose, and isocaloric mixtures of glucose and fructose. Our study shows that high consumption of fructose by Drosophila larvae rather than glucose promotes a diet-induced obese phenotype in adult insects. It seems that the role of oxidative stress in the general adaptive response to presence of carbohydrates in the food depends on the line of insects and their life stages.
