The Role of Peptide Hormones in Insect Lipid Metabolism
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Lipids are the primary storage molecules and an essential source of energy in insects during reproduction, prolonged periods of flight, starvation, and diapause.

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.Fat body (FB) acts as a major metabolic center important for the regulation of a variety of physiological processes such as embryogenesis, reproduction, flight, overwintering, protection, and communication. Lipid amounts and fatty acid (FA) composition vary with species, stage of life, and their diet.

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 ...

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 118, Issue 3, March 2025.Adipokinetic 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.

Locust corpora cardiaca contain an inactive adipokinetic hormone [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1999 A neuropeptide from the migratory locust, Locusta migratoria, has been identified as a novel member of the family of adipokinetic hormones (AKHs). The peptide is probably synthesised in the brain because it is the first AKH found in the storage lobe, whilst the three ‘classic' Locusta AKHs are present in the glandular lobe of the corpora cardiaca.

Transgenerational Plasticity of Maternal Hemolymph Trehalose in Aphids
Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 118, Issue 1, January 2025.Maternal hemolymph trehalose influences aphid transgenerational plasticity and adaptation to environmental stress. Higher trehalose levels in winged aphids are associated with increased trehalose levels in the offspring, potentially aiding resilience.

Aquaculture Nutrition, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Reproductive maturation remains a central bottleneck in crustacean aquaculture, as ovarian development dictates broodstock quality, fecundity, and larval viability. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the physiological regulation of ovarian maturation in decapod crustaceans, emphasizing the interplay of hormones, nutrients, and environmental ...

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

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
