This paper shows that blocking lipid synthesis in Drosophila fat body triggers a metabolic switch to glycogen storage, mediated by SREBP and HATs, supporting development but reducing lifespan and fecundity.

This paper identifies APMAP as an ER-localized antioxidant that maintains lipid and lipoprotein homeostasis, with loss of APMAP causing ER stress, lipid droplet accumulation, and altered lipoprotein maturation across multiple organisms.
