The overall goal of this procedure is to quantify the muscle area in the Drosophila adult muscles as a means to indirectly quantify muscle mass and correctly size the generation or muscle atrophy. For this purpose, we focused on dorsal longitudina

We report a method to quantify muscle area, which is an indirect method to determine muscle mass in Drosophila adults. We demonstrate the application of our methodology by analyzing the indirect flight muscles in a Drosophila model of Myotonic Dystrophy disease.
