Adipokinetic hormone (AKH), energy budget and their effect on feeding and gustatory processes of foraging honey bees [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The adipokinetic hormone (AKH) of insects is considered an equivalent of the mammalian hormone glucagon as it induces fast mobilization of carbohydrates and lipids from the fat body upon starvation.

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.

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

Journal of Lipid Research, 1999 We have previously shown that stereospecific hydrolysis of stored triacylglycerol by a phosphorylatable triacylglycerol-lipase is the pathway for the adipokinetic hormone-stimulated synthesis of sn-1, 2-diacylglycerol in insect fat body.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1997 The pathway for the adipokinetic hormone-stimulated synthesis of sn-1,2-diacylglycerols in the adult Manduca sexta fat body was studied. Adult fat body lipids were labeled by feeding 5th instar larvae either with [9,10(n)-3H]oleic acid or [1(3)-3H ...
