A Cold Stress‐Activated Endocrine Sentinel Chemical Hormone Promotes Insect Survival via Mitochondrial Adaptations Through the Adipokinetic Hormone Receptor [PDF]
Advanced ScienceSeasonal temperature fluctuations present a major survival challenge for insects, requiring physiological adaptation that confers resilience to cold stress. However, the hormone mechanisms governing mitochondrial adaptation to overcome cold stress remain

Unique Members of the Adipokinetic Hormone Family in Butterflies and Moths (Insecta, Lepidoptera) [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Lepidoptera is amongst one of the four most speciose insect orders and ecologically very successful because of their ability to fly. Insect flight is always aerobic and exacts a high metabolic demand on the animal.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone and Adipokinetic hormone signaling systems share a common evolutionary origin [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2011 Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a critical and central hormone that regulates vertebrate reproduction. The high conservation of GnRH signaling within the chordates (deuterostomians) raises the important question as to whether its appearance ...

An Adipokinetic Hormone Acts as a Volume Regulator in the Intertidal Gastropod Mollusk, Aplysia californica [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018 Adipokinetic hormone (AKH) is a multifunctional neuropeptide in the gonadotropin-releasing hormone superfamily. In insects, AKH acts to mobilize energy stores during times of high energetic demand, but has been shown to have other effects.

Energy Homeostasis Control in Drosophila Adipokinetic Hormone Mutants. [PDF]
Genetics, 2015 Abstract Maintenance of biological functions under negative energy balance depends on mobilization of storage lipids and carbohydrates in animals. In mammals, glucagon and glucocorticoid signaling mobilizes energy reserves, whereas adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) play a homologous role in insects.

Localization and functional characterization of a novel adipokinetic hormone in the mollusk, Aplysia californica. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Increasing evidence suggests that gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), corazonin, adipokinetic hormone (AKH), and red pigment-concentrating hormone all share common ancestry to form a GnRH superfamily.

A South African Scenario: Structure and Function of Peptides of the Adipokinetic Hormone Family of the Brown Locust, Locustana pardalina, and the Putative Role of These Peptides in Plague Management. [PDF]
Arch Insect Biochem Physiol1. The brown locust produces the three adipokinetic hormones Locmi‐AKH‐I, ‐II and ‐III found also in the migratory locust. 2. Flight is characterised by differential changes in haemolymph carbohydrate and lipid levels. 3. Modelling ligand‐receptor binding is proposed as important step to a new strategy to combat the brown locust.
