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 ...

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018 Adipokinetic hormone (AKH) is a multifunctional neuropeptide in the gonadotropin-releasing hormone superfamily. In insects, AKH acts to mobilize energy stores during times of high energetic demand, but has been shown to have other effects.

Profiling of RNA-binding Proteins Interacting With Glucagon and Adipokinetic Hormone mRNAs
Journal of Lipid and Atherosclerosis, 2022 Objective Glucagon in mammals and its homolog (adipokinetic hormone [AKH] in Drosophila melanogaster) are peptide hormones which regulate lipid metabolism by breaking down triglycerides. Although regulatory mechanisms of glucagon and AKH expression have

The adipokinetic hormone family in Chrysomeloidea: structural and functional considerations
ZooKeys, 2016 The presented work is a hybrid of an overview and an original research paper on peptides belonging to the adipokinetic hormone (AKH) family that are present in the corpora cardiaca of Chrysomeloidea.

The proprotein convertase encoded by amontillado (amon) is required in Drosophila corpora cardiaca endocrine cells producing the glucose regulatory hormone AKH. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2010 Peptide hormones are potent signaling molecules that coordinate animal physiology, behavior, and development. A key step in activation of these peptide signals is their proteolytic processing from propeptide precursors by a family of proteases, the ...

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 ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Using the blood-sucking kissing bug, Rhodnius prolixus as an experimental model, we have studied the involvement of insulin-like peptides (ILPs) and adipokinetic hormone (AKH) signaling in carbohydrate metabolism, focusing on the regulation of the ...

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

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
