Effect of AstA loss of function on fat body lipid accumulation.

(A) Lipid droplets were visualized in the fat body of adult males using CARS microscopy in animals lacking AstA (AstA^SK1) and control animals (y² cho² v¹, y¹ w¹¹¹⁸ and y² cho² v¹ x y¹ w¹¹¹⁸: offspring from crossing these lines). (B,C) Quantification of lipid droplet number and size in adult fat body based on confocal images. The data shown represent the means and error bars indicate standard errors (n = 8). Scale bar, 10 μm. *: P < 0.05; ***: P < 0.001 (Student’s t-test).
