High-sucrose-induced maternal obesity disrupts ovarian function and decreases fertility in Drosophila melanogaster - Rita T. Brookheart1 , Alison R. Swearingen, Christina A. Collins, Laura M. Cline, Jennifer G. Duncan⁎
Using our Drosophila model of maternal obesity, we noted that HSD females are quantitatively smaller than LSD controls (Fig. 2A-B) and, as our group demonstrated previously, weigh less (39). This decreased size is also evident in the ovaries, whereby, HSD females had ovaries that were 28% smaller than their LSD counterparts (Fig. 2C). Moreover, this decrease in overall ovarian size positively correlated with a decrease in the number of mature (stage 14+) eggs (Fig. 2D).
