Aberrant fat metabolism in Caenorhabditis elegans mutants with defects in the defecation motor program.

The molecular mechanisms by which dietary fatty acids are absorbed by the intestine, and the way in which the process is regulated are poorly understood. In a genetic screen for mutations affecting fat accumulation in the intestine of Caenorhabditis elegans, nematode worms, we have isolated mutation...
