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.

Homeostatic Counter-Regulation Mediates Spermidine-Induced Triacylglyceride Reduction in Drosophila melanogaster-From Phenotype to Molecular Mechanism. [PDF]
FASEB JIn Drosophila melanogaster females fed a standard diet containing 2.5% yeast extract (low‐yeast diet), spermidine (Spd) administration does not enhance the endogenous Spd pool but increases the excretion of catabolic N1‐acetylspermidine (N1AcSpd) and reduces fat stores. This process requires the catabolic Akh/AkhR pathway.

Adipokinetic hormone enhances nodule formation and phenoloxidase activation in adult locusts injected with bacterial lipopolysaccharide [PDF]
, 2003 Interactions between the locust endocrine and immune systems have been studied in vivo in relation to nodule formation and activation of the prophenoloxidase cascade in the haemolymph.

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 ...

Interactions between the endocrine and immune systems in locusts [PDF]
, 2003 The prophenoloxidase cascade in the haemolymph of mature adult Locusta migratoria migratorioides (R & F) is activated in response to injection of laminarin, a -1,3 glucan.

Insects, 2023 Response to short-term stress is a fundamental survival mechanism ensuring protection and adaptation in adverse environments. Key components of the neuroendocrine stress reaction in insects are stress-related hormones, including biogenic amines (dopamine

Induced hyperlipaemia and immune challenge in locusts [PDF]
, 2004 Injections of immunogens, such as β-1,3-glucan or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), bring about a marked hyperlipaemia with associated changes in lipophorins and apolipophorin-III in the haemolymph of Locusta migratoria.

Insight into mosquito GnRH-related neuropeptide receptor specificity revealed through analysis of naturally occurring and synthetic analogs of this neuropeptide family [PDF]
, 2019 Adipokinetic hormone (AKH), corazonin (CRZ), and the AKH/CRZ-related peptide (ACP) are neuropeptides considered homologous to the vertebrate gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).

Journal of Lipid Research, 1964 Slices of hamster adipose tissue were incubated with various concentrations of an aromatic amine or of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH). The curve relating response (measured in terms of FFA produced) to logarithm of dose was sigmoid for all adipokinetic ...

Gustatory perception and fat body energy metabolism are jointly affected by vitellogenin and juvenile hormone in honey bees. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 Honey bees (Apis mellifera) provide a system for studying social and food-related behavior. A caste of workers performs age-related tasks: young bees (nurses) usually feed the brood and other adult bees inside the nest, while older bees (foragers) forage
