The life cycle of D. melanogaster progresses through distinct
stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. We report herein on the identi-
fication and quantification of a panel of endogenous long-chain
fatty acid amides in the heads and abdomen–thorax of adult D.
melanogaster by liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight
mass spectrometry (LC/QTOF-MS)
