Functional characterization and signalling systems of corazonin and red pigment concentrating hormone in the green shore crab, Carcinus maenas [PDF]
, 2018 Neuropeptides play a central role as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators and hormones in orchestrating arthropod physiology. The post-genomic surge in identified neuropeptides and their putative receptors has not been matched by functional ...

Insect neuropeptides regulating substrate mobilisation [PDF]
, 2017 Insect flight muscles perform their work completely aerobically, and working flight muscles are known to be the most metabolically active tissue in nature with respect to oxygen uptake. Various substrates can be oxidised and utilised as fuels for flight.

The PRXamide Neuropeptide Signalling System: Conserved in Animals [PDF]
, 2015 The PRXamide family of neuropeptides is based on the core amino acids at the C-terminal end that are required for activity and on sequence homology of their cell-surface G protein-coupled receptors.

Functional characterisation of the hypertrehalosaemic hormone from the Indian stick insect Carausius morosus: metabolic and myotropic studies [PDF]
, 2017 Neuropeptides of the adipokinetic hormone/red pigment concentrating hormone (AKH/RPCH) family are well known as regulators for many physiological processes in insects, notably energy metabolism, and a possible role in myostimulation.

Cell biology international reports, 1985 Intrinsic gland cells of the corpus cardiacum of Locusta synthesize AKH, and release it into the haemolymph shortly after onset of flight. AKH stimulates the release of diacylglycerol — the fuel for the flight muscles — from the fat body. The peak of haemolymph AKH is reached after about 30 min flight.
