Results and discussion . Brain adiponectin receptor controls animal growth . Drosophila has a single adiponectin receptor, AdipoR, encoded by gene CG5315 (referred to as AdipoR ). Independent batches of AdipoR antibodies labeled the same symmetrical cluster of neurons in the larval brain lobes only (Fig.? 1a and Supplementary Fig.? 1a–e ), referred to as adiponectin receptor-positive neurons (APNs). Unlike a previous report 9 , our anti-AdipoR antibodies did not label the brai...
