Branch A, Zhang Y, Shen P. Genetic and Neurobiological Analyses of the Noradrenergic-like System in Vulnerability to Sugar Overconsumption Using a Drosophila Model. Sci Rep. 2017 Dec 15;7(1):17642. PubMed PMID: 29247240; PubMed Central PMCID: PMC5732301.
From the abstract: "Regular overconsumption of sugar is associated with obesity and type-2 diabetes, but how genetic factors contribute to variable sugar preferences and intake levels remains mostly unclear. Here we provide evidence for the usefulness of a Drosophila larva model to investigate genetic influence on vulnerability to sugar overconsumption. ..."
