Effect of high fat diet feeding on resistance to bacteria infection in D. melanogaster

Abstract

In order to obtain further knowledge in effects of high fat diet on resistance to bacterial infection, the following aims will be discussed:

- Identification of effects of HFD feeding on resistance to bacterial infection - Describing the effect of HFD feeding on ability to fight the bacteria - Comparison of the effect of HFD feeding on level of free metabolites (glucose, glycogen and lipids) - Analysis of triglyceride amounts in the whole body of Drosophila and hemocytes particularly
