“…In the present work, the trophocytes displayed variable phenotypes, sharing histological features with the fat body cells reported in other insect species (Dean et al 1985, Zara and Caetano 2004, Roma et al 2010, Martins et al 2011). As expected, the bloodmeal lead to remarkable changes in the tissue which showed larger trophocytes with abundant lipid droplets, in agreement with the physiological role of the tissue and with its higher triacylglycerol content (Canavoso et al 2004, Pontes et al 2008).…”

“…The fat body, which is composed of loosely associated cells that are rich in lipids and glycogen, lines the integument of the hemocoel (Costa-Leonardo et al, 2013; Larsen, 1976; Martins et al, 2011). Besides functioning in energy storage and the synthesis of the vitellogenin precursors required for the production of eggs, the fat body produces and secretes antimicrobial peptides with lytic activity as well as additional components of the humoral immune response (Aggarwal and Silverman, 2008; Hillyer, 2010; Wang et al, 2014a).…”

“…The insect fat body is an organ that functions analogous to both adipocytes and livers in mammals. The fat body is crucial in regulating metabolism and growth in insects, and is responsible for energy storage, synthesis and secretion of hemolymph proteins and circulating metabolites [87]. A recent study reported that the JAK-STAT pathway is activated in the fat body of Ae.…”
