Adipokinetic hormone (AKH), energy budget and their effect on feeding and gustatory processes of foraging honey bees [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
The adipokinetic hormone (AKH) of insects is considered an equivalent of the mammalian hormone glucagon as it induces fast mobilization of carbohydrates and lipids from the fat body upon starvation.

The Adipokinetic Hormone (AKH) and the Adipokinetic Hormone/Corazonin-Related Peptide (ACP) Signalling Systems of the Yellow Fever Mosquito Aedes aegypti: Chemical Models of Binding [PDF]

Biomolecules
Neuropeptides are the main regulators of physiological, developmental, and behavioural processes in insects. Three insect neuropeptide systems, the adipokinetic hormone (AKH), corazonin (Crz), and adipokinetic hormone/corazonin-related peptide (ACP), and

Insight Into Mosquito GnRH-Related Neuropeptide Receptor Specificity Revealed Through Analysis of Naturally Occurring and Synthetic Analogs of This Neuropeptide Family [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Adipokinetic hormone (AKH), corazonin (CRZ), and the AKH/CRZ-related peptide (ACP) are neuropeptides considered homologous to the vertebrate gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).

Cardiac neurons expressing a glucagon-like receptor mediate cardiac arrhythmia induced by high-fat diet in Drosophila [PDF]

eLife
Cardiac arrhythmia leads to increased risks for stroke, heart failure, and cardiac arrest. Arrhythmic pathology is often rooted in the cardiac conduction system, but the mechanism is complex and not fully understood.

Elimination of certain honeybee venom activities by adipokinetic hormone [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The primary aim of this study was to analyse the influence of honeybee venom on various aspects of Drosophila melanogaster physiology and to assess the efficacy of adipokinetic hormone (AKH) in mitigating venom toxicity.

Adipokinetic Hormones and Their Receptor Regulate the Locomotor Behavior in Tribolium castaneum [PDF]

Insects
The regulation of locomotor behavior is essential for insects to perform their life activities. The central nervous system plays a pivotal role in modulating physiological behaviors, particularly movement, with neuropeptides serving as key modulators of ...

Dietary amino acids promote glucagon-like hormone release to generate global calcium waves in adipose tissues in Drosophila [PDF]

Nature Communications
Propagation of intercellular calcium waves through tissues has been found to coordinate different multicellular responses. Nevertheless, our understanding of how calcium waves operate remains limited.

A tumor-secreted protein utilizes glucagon release to cause host wasting [PDF]

Cell Discovery
Tumor‒host interaction plays a critical role in malignant tumor-induced organ wasting across multiple species. Despite known regulation of regional wasting of individual peripheral organs by tumors, whether and how tumors utilize critical host catabolic ...

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone and Adipokinetic hormone signaling systems share a common evolutionary origin [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2011
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a critical and central hormone that regulates vertebrate reproduction. The high conservation of GnRH signaling within the chordates (deuterostomians) raises the important question as to whether its appearance ...

Molecular Mechanism Underlying ROS-Mediated AKH Resistance to Imidacloprid in Whitefly [PDF]

Insects
Synthetic insecticides used to control Bemisia tabaci include organophosphorus, pyrethroids, insect growth regulators, nicotinoids, and neonicotinoids. Among these, neonicotinoids have been used continuously, which has led to the emergence of high-level ...
