Insect adipokinetic hormones

Peptides, 1985
Peptides with adipokinetic (and usually carbohydrate-mobilizing) potency have been demonstrated in various insects, including Locusta migratoria, Schistocerca gregaria, Manduca sexta, Danaus plexippus and Periplaneta americana. As far as characterized by now the adipokinetic factors are blocked peptides, consisting of eight to ten amino acid residues ...

Studies on insect adipokinetic hormones

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1972
An adipokinetic factor is present in the corpora cardiaca of Schistocerca gregaria, Locusta migratoria, Periplaneta americana, and Tenebrio molitor. A large in vivo adipokinetic response can be demonstrated in the locusts and the mealworm, but not in the cockroaches Periplaneta americana and Gromphadorhina portentosa.

New insights into adipokinetic hormone signaling

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 1998
Flight activity of insects comprises one of the most intense biochemical processes known in nature, and therefore provides an attractive model system to study the hormonal regulation of metabolism during physical exercise. In long-distance flying insects, such as the migratory locust, both carbohydrate and lipid reserves are utilized as fuels for ...
