RNA was extracted from young fertile adults fed ad libitum or fasted for 6 h. ddCts (delta delta cycle thresholds) were calculated normalizing to ama-1 and the efficiency of the primer sets as previously described. Means+s.e.m. are depicted. lipl-1 to lipl-5, n = 6 independent experiments. lipl-6 to lipl-8, n = 3independent experiments. Significant t-test derived P-values are indicated. WT, wild type.
