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 ...

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

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.

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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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

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 ...
