Appetite, Consumption Controlled By Clockwork Genes At Cross-Purposes In Flies

Dueling Drosophila.

"One of the pioneers in research on sleep:wake circadian genes, Amita Sehgal, Ph.D., has discovered that fruit flies' appetite and consumption are controlled by two rival sets of clocks, one in neurons and the other in the fly fat body, which is analogous to the liver."

Rival daily clocks that will give people excuses for being fat for years.
