Expression of Ilp5Scer\UAS.cIa in the insulin producing cells (IPCs) under the control of Scer\GAL4Ilp2.PR ameliorates both the lethality and developmental delay phenotypes associated with developmental ethanol exposure.
Central nervous system neuroblasts of fed second instar larvae expressing Ilp5Scer\UAS.cIa under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU show an increase in EdU incorporation compared to controls.
Expression of Ilp5Scer\UAS.cIa under the control of Scer\GAL4repo.PU does not affect the body mass of third instar larvae.
When Ilp5Scer\UAS.cIa is driven by Scer\GAL4arm.PS or Scer\GAL4Act5C.PP a statistically significant increase in body size is seen.
