ABSTRACT
Gluten sensitivity is associated with digestive and neurological disorders, correlating with abnormal amino acid levels, innate immune responses, gut dysbiosis and movement incoordination. However, the molecular mechanisms linking dietary gluten and brain function remain incompletely understood. We used Drosophila melanogaster to test the effects of gluten ingestion in locomotion performance. Whereas flies on control food showed decreased climbing performance after five weeks, flies exposed to food supplemented with different gluten concentrations showed a significant locomotion decline after three weeks of treatment. Future studies will determine the mechanisms underlying the observed gluten-dependent phenotypes to establish Drosophila models for gluten sensitivity.
