AbstractNutrient storage and metabolism effects on reproductive behavior are well studied in higher vertebrates like mammals, but are less understood in simpler systems. Drosophila melanogaster is well suited to study the ramifications of diet and metabolic energy storage on reproductive behaviors as they are commonly used to explore energy mobilization pathways. We tested, for the first time, courtship of the naturally occurring adipose (adp60) mutant which over-accumulates triglycerides and glycogen on a normal diet. We also fed wild type (WT) flies either a normal diet, high fat diet or food deprived them before measuring courtship, copulations, and glycogen and triglyceride levels. Adipose mutants decreased both courtship and copulation frequency, yet showed the highest glycogen and triglyceride levels. We suggest the adp60 physique and/or an altered ability to utilize mobilize energy explains these effects. Food deprived WT flies had the lowest glycogen and triglycerides but exhibited shortened courtship latencies with increased courtship behaviors. This may be due to a decreased lifespan of food deprived flies leading to a greater reproductive drive. However, high fat fed flies copulated more frequently and had the highest triglycerides among WT groups, yet equal glycogen levels to the normal fed WT group. Thus, a high fat diet either increases male attractivity or male courtship persistence. Taken together, available diet and nutrient storage affects male fly reproductive behavior in a unique manner, which may be explained by their natural history, and provides a paradigm for understanding energetics based on reproductive potential.

Abstract. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of maternal consumption of flaxseed flour and oil on serum concentrations of glucose, insulin, and thyroid hormones of the adult female offspring of diabetic rats. Methods: Wistar rats were induced to diabetes by a high-fat diet (60%) and streptozotocin (35 mg/kg). Rats were mated and once pregnancy was confirmed, were divided into the following groups: Control Group (CG): casein-based diet; High-fat Group (HG): high-fat diet (49%); High-fat Flaxseed Group (HFG): high-fat diet supplemented with 25% flaxseed flour; High-fat Flaxseed Oil group (HOG): high-fat diet, where soya oil was replaced with flaxseed oil. After weaning, female pups (n = 6) from each group were separated, received a commercial rat diet and were sacrificed after 180 days. Serum insulin concentrations were determined by ELISA, the levels of triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) were determined by chemiluminescence. Results: There was a significant reduction in body weight at weaning in HG (−31%), HFG (−33%) and HOG (44%) compared to CG (p = 0.002), which became similar by the end of 180 days. Blood glucose levels were reduced in HFG (−10%, p = 0.044) when compared to CG, and there was no significant difference between groups in relation to insulin, T3, T4, and TSH after 180 days. Conclusions: Maternal severe hyperglycemia during pregnancy and lactation resulted in a microsomal offspring. Maternal consumption of flaxseed reduces blood glucose levels in adult offspring without significant effects on insulin levels and thyroid hormones.
