European Journal of Entomology, 2010 In the present study the hypothesis that there is a feedback between juvenile hormone and adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) was investigated by topical application of the juvenoid methoprene on 9-day-old adult males of the firebug Pyrrhocoris apterus.

Systemic corazonin signalling modulates stress responses and metabolism in Drosophila [PDF]
Open Biology, 2016 Stress triggers cellular and systemic reactions in organisms to restore homeostasis. For instance, metabolic stress, experienced during starvation, elicits a hormonal response that reallocates resources to enable food search and readjustment of ...

Effect of adipokinetic hormone on the structure and properties of lipophorin in locusts.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1986 The reversible association of a low molecular weight hemolymph protein (mol wt 20,000 estimated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) with lipophorin, following treatment with adipokinetic hormone (AKH), was demonstrated by density gradient ...

Primary role of adipokinetic hormone in the formation of low density lipophorin in locusts.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1990 It was demonstrated that the primary action of adipokinetic hormone (AKH) is to stimulate calcium ion uptake into the fat body cell, subsequently causing the formation of diacylglycerol from triacylglycerol. Furthermore, it was also shown that AKH is not

Research Overview on Corpora Cardiaca Function of Drosophila melanogaster
Shiyan dongwu yu bijiao yixueTaking the corpora cardiaca (CC) of Drosophila melanogaster as the central focus, this review establishes a four-dimensional framework of "development-secretion-regulation-function" to systematically summarize the core role of CC in glucose metabolic ...

Sociobiology, 2018 Adipokinetic hormone receptor (AKHR) was regarded as the crucial regulator of lipid consuming, but now has been renewed as a pluripotent neuropeptide G protein-coupled receptor. It has been identified in all sequenced bee genomes from the solitary to the
