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
