Abstract:Organisms respond to dietary and environmental challenges by altering the molecular composition of their glycerolipids and glycerophospholipids (GPLs), which may favorably adjust the physicochemical properties of lipid membranes. However, how lipidome changes affect the membrane proteome and, eventually, the physiology of specific organs is an open question. We addressed this issue in Drosophila melanogaster, which is not able to synthesize sterols and polyunsaturated fatty acids but can acquire them from food… Show more
