larval fat cell [FBbt_00049950]
Fat cell of the larva. During larval development these cells are flat, polygonal and tightly associated with one another in single-layer sheets (Nelliot et al., 2006). They accumulate nutrient reserves to act as a reservoir to support the animal through the non-feeding period of development (Aguila et al., 2007). Unlike the adult fat cells, they are endoreplicative (Musselman and Kuhnlein, 2018). After pupation, the larval fat cells adopt a more rounded shape and detach from each other in an anterior to posterior wave, leaving free-floating larval fat cells (Nelliot et al., 2006). The dissociated larval fat cells persist into the newly-eclosed adult to provide a food source (Aguila et al., 2007).
