A view of potato beetles (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) at Molecular Entomology Laboratory (MOLEN) of Ankara University in Ankara, Turkiye on January 19, 2025. In the study conducted at the University's Faculty of Agriculture, it was determined that the fat accumulation and burning mechanisms of potato beetles are similar to the genes in humans, and it is predicted that a peptide obtained from the insect may shed light on the solution of health problems such as fatty liver and obesity.
