Drosophila melanogaster as an alternative animal model in fat metabolism studies
Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most abundantly utilized model organisms today, in various contexts of biomedical research. It serves as one of the best alternative model organisms as it comprises most genes related to metabolism which are conserved in the human genome. The simplicity in genet...
