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.

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

Opposite effects of 5-HT/AKH and octopamine on the crop contractions in adult Drosophila melanogaster: Evidence of a double brain-gut serotonergic circuitry [PDF]
, 2017 This study showed that in adult Drosophila melanogaster, the type of sugar-either present within the crop lumen or in the bathing solution of the crop-had no effect on crop muscle contraction.

Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) transcriptomic analysis and neuropeptidomics [PDF]
, 2018 Stinkbugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) are of major economic importance as pest of crops. Among the species composing the stinkbug complex, Nezara viridula is one of the most abundant in Brazil, Argentina and the Southern USA. However, this species has been

Dietary glucose regulates yeast consumption in adult Drosophila males [PDF]
, 2014 The adjustment of feeding behavior in response to hunger and satiety contributes to homeostatic regulation in animals. The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster feeds on yeasts growing on overripe fruit, providing nutrients required for adult survival ...

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
