Gut AstA mediates sleep deprivation-induced energy wasting in Drosophila

Cell Discovery, 2023
Severe sleep deprivation (SD) has been highly associated with systemic energy wasting, such as lipid loss and glycogen depletion. Despite immune dysregulation and neurotoxicity observed in SD animals, whether and how the gut-secreted hormones participate

AKH Signaling in D. melanogaster Alters Larval Development in a Nutrient-Dependent Manner That Influences Adult Metabolism

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Metabolism, growth, and development are intrinsically linked, and their coordination is dependent upon inter-organ communication mediated by anabolic, catabolic, and steroid hormones.

High-fat diet enhances starvation-induced hyperactivity via sensitizing hunger-sensing neurons in Drosophila

eLife, 2020
The function of the central nervous system to regulate food intake can be disrupted by sustained metabolic challenges such as high-fat diet (HFD), which may contribute to various metabolic disorders.

Peptidomics of the agriculturally damaging larval stage of the cabbage root fly Delia radicum (Diptera: Anthomyiidae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The larvae of the cabbage root fly induce serious damage to cultivated crops of the family Brassicaceae. We here report the biochemical characterisation of neuropeptides from the central nervous system and neurohemal organs, as well as regulatory ...

Crustacean red pigment-concentrating hormone Panbo-RPCH affects lipid mobilization and walking activity in a flightless bug Pyrrhocoris apterus (Heteroptera) similarly to its own AKH-peptides

European Journal of Entomology, 2007
In the present study we tested whether the walking activity of macropterous females of the flightless wing-polymorphic bug Pyrrhocoris apterus (L.) can be stimulated by its native adipokinetic hormone Peram-CAH-II and the crustacean red pigment ...

Threonine sulfation: a rare post translational modification in insect adipokinetic hormones

Scientific Reports
Peptides of the adipokinetic hormone family are responsible for metabolic roles in insects, regulating release of energy metabolites from the fat body. We report on adipokinetic hormone octapeptide sequences bearing a rarely identified post-translational

The influence of hormones on the lipid profile in the fat body of insects [PDF]

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2015
Peptide hormones play a special role in the neuroendocrine systems of insects and affect a number of physiological processes related to their development, reproduction and behavior.

Further characterization of locust low density lipophorin induced by adipokinetic hormone

Journal of Lipid Research, 1991
This study was designed to resolve basic questions concerning the nature of low density lipophorin (LDLp) which is induced by adipokinetic hormone (AKH).

In vitro study of the action of adipokinetic hormone in locusts.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1989
The in vitro study was performed in order to demonstrate the structural changes of lipophorin induced in vivo by the injection of adipokinetic hormone (AKH) into adult locusts.

Functional characterization of hypertrehalosemic hormone receptor in relation to hemolymph trehalose and to oxidative stress in the cockroach Blattella germanica

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
Hypertrehalosemic hormone (HTH) is a peptide hormone that belongs to the AKH/RPCH (adipokinetic hormone/red pigment concentrating hormone) family, which exerts pleiotropic actions related to catabolic reaction and stress response.
