The ketogenic diet is a low carbohydrate, high fat diet that is thought to be beneficial to health. Due to the low intake of carbohydrates in the ketogenic diet, the main energy fuel, glucose is depleted, and insulin levels ...

After Drosophila melanogaster undergoes metamorphosis, the fly breaks free of the pupal case in a process called eclosion. Pharate adult lethality is a phenomenon in which the developed fly fails to eclose and dies inside ...
