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. Here, we have identified the first insect AKH receptors,

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

Structural Diversity of Adipokinetic Hormones in the Coleopteran Suborder Polyphaga (Excluding Cucujiformia). [PDF]
Arch Insect Biochem PhysiolAdipokinetic hormones of Polyphaga beetles (minus Cucujiformia series) were sequenced and confirmed via mass spectrometry. Schgr‐AKH‐II is assumed as ancestral AKH in Coleoptera. Radiation of AKH diversity during the evolution of Scarabaeoidea. ABSTRACT Beetles are the largest animal group, in general.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study discovered a new pathway that tells fruit flies when to stop eating. It found that rising blood sugar (fructose) is detected by a sensor called GR43a. This triggers a chain reaction involving the satiety signal sulfakinin and its receptor, ultimately activating a final satiety signal, ILP5.

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.

Pss knockdown in the midgut causes growth retardation in Drosophila similar to that in human LMHD
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Phosphatidylserine synthase (PSS), localized in the mitochondrial membrane, synthesizes phosphatidylserine. In humans, mutations in Pss lead to Lenz–Majewski hyperostotic dwarfism, a disorder affecting growth and development. The effects of Pss mutations on the growth of Drosophila melanogaster are not fully known. Hence, this study

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 ...

Regulatory mechanisms of reproduction in locusts and grasshoppers
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Regulatory networks composed of numerous coding and noncoding genes play crucial roles in the reproduction of locusts and grasshoppers. This review integrates mechanistic advances in reproductive regulation, highlighting environmentally adaptive pathways and providing prospective targets for eco‐friendly pesticides.
