Dietary protein restriction decreases fatty acid synthase activity in A. mellifera.
“precociously induce low, forager-like FAS activity levels in nurse-age bees deprived of protein.”

Carbohydrates increase fatty acid synthase activity in A. mellifera.
“Feeding both nurses and foragers carbohydrates increased FAS activity compared with starved bees”

Age decreases fatty acid synthase activity in A. mellifera.
“We found that FAS but not lipase activity declines as bees age past peak nursing age.”
