Dose-response curves for the adipokinetic action of aromatic amines and adrenocorticotropin upon the isolated adipose tissue of the hamster

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 ...

Dietary glucose regulates yeast consumption in adult Drosophila males

Frontiers in Physiology, 2014
The adjustment of feeding behavior in response to hunger and satiety contributes to homeostatic regulation in animals. The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster feeds on yeasts growing on overripe fruit, providing nutrients required for adult survival ...

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

Inactivation of adrenocorticotropin, α- and Β-melanocyte-stimulating hormones, vasopressin, and pituitary fraction H by adipose tissue

Journal of Lipid Research, 1964
Rat adipose tissue homogenate contains a peptidase or group of peptidases which abolish the adipokinetic activity of ACTH, α-MSH, Β-MSH, vasopressin, and pituitary fraction H.

The main triglyceride-lipase from the insect fat body is an active phospholipase A1: identification and characterization

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
The main triglyceride-lipase (TG-lipase) from the fat body of Manduca sexta has been identified as the homolog of Drosophila melanogaster CG8552. This protein is conserved among insects and also shares significant sequence similarity with vertebrate ...

Unusual complement of three AKH octapeptides in two species of grasshoppers (Caelifera)

European Journal of Entomology, 2006
The corpora cardiaca (CC) of the two grasshopper species Zonocerus elegans (Pyrgomorphidae) and Lamarckiana sparrmani (Pamphagidae) contain (a) substance(s) that cause(s) hyperlipaemia in the migratory locust and hypertrehalosaemia in the American ...

Bladder grasshoppers (Caelifera: Pneumoridae) contain three adipokinetic peptides

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
The corpora cardiaca (CC) of the pneumorid grasshopper species Bullacris discolor contain at least one substance that causes hyperlipaemia in the migratory locust. Isolation of neuropeptides belonging to the adipokinetic hormone (AKH) family was achieved

Molecular identification of the insect adipokinetic hormone receptors [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002
The insect adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) are a large family of peptide hormones that are involved in the mobilization of sugar and lipids from the insect fat body during energy-requiring activities such as flight and locomotion, but that also contribute to hemolymph sugar homeostasis.

Invertebrate Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone-Related Peptides and Their Receptors: An Update

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2017
Gonadotropin-releasing hormones (GnRHs) play pivotal roles in reproductive functions via the hypothalamus, pituitary, and gonad axis, namely, HPG axis in vertebrates.

Data for the homology modelling of the red pigment-concentrating hormone receptor (Dappu-RPCHR) of the crustacean Daphnia pulex, and docking of its cognate agonist (Dappu-RPCH)

Data in Brief, 2017
The data presented in this article are related to the publication “Interaction of the red pigment-concentrating hormone of the crustacean Daphnia pulex, with its cognate receptor, Dappu-RPCHR: A nuclear magnetic resonance and modeling study” (Jackson
