Research Overview on Corpora Cardiaca Function of Drosophila melanogaster

Shiyan dongwu yu bijiao yixue
Taking the corpora cardiaca (CC) of Drosophila melanogaster as the central focus, this review establishes a four-dimensional framework of "development-secretion-regulation-function" to systematically summarize the core role of CC in glucose metabolic ...

Gustatory perception and fat body energy metabolism are jointly affected by vitellogenin and juvenile hormone in honey bees. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2012
Honey bees (Apis mellifera) provide a system for studying social and food-related behavior. A caste of workers performs age-related tasks: young bees (nurses) usually feed the brood and other adult bees inside the nest, while older bees (foragers) forage

Morin hydrate reduces survival and fertility, delays development and weakens lipid reserves in Aedes aegypti

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 592-602, September 2025.
Morin hydrate promoted mortality and reduced the rate of pupation and egg laying in Aedes aegypti larvae that survive treatment. Morin hydrate reduces the levels of triacylglycerol, the main lipid reserve in A. aegypti larvae. The expression of proteins involved in lipogenesis and lipolysis was downregulated and upregulated, respectively, in larvae ...

Postnatal Wing Morph of Pea Aphids Regulates Hemolymph Trehalose Levels

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 117, Issue 2, October 2024.
Hemolymph trehalose levels remained stable, increasing with developmental stages. Winged adult aphids exhibited higher hemolymph trehalose levels than wingless ones. Gene analysis: Downregulation of TPS2 levels and upregulation of IRP5 expression in wingless nymphs and adults provides insights into trehalose use.

Characterisation and pharmacological analysis of a crustacean G protein-coupled receptor: the red pigment-concentrating hormone receptor of Daphnia pulex

Scientific Reports, 2017
This is the first pharmacological characterisation of a neuropeptide G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) in a crustacean. We cloned the ORF of the red pigment-concentrating hormone from a German strain of Daphnia pulex (Dappu-RPCH), as well as that of the ...

A Glance into the Near Future: Cultivated Meat from Mammalian and Insect Cells

Small Science, Volume 4, Issue 10, October 2024.
Growing demand for meat and environmental concerns are driving the search for sustainable alternatives for meat production. Cultured meat from animal stem cells, particularly insect stem cells, is emerging as an efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly option.

Adipokinetic Hormone Receptor Mediates Lipid Mobilization to Regulate Starvation Resistance in the Brown Planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Lipid storage must be efficiently mobilized to sustain the energy demands during processes of exercise or starvation. In insects, adipokinetic hormone (AKH) and brummer lipase are well-known regulators of lipid mobilization. We recently demonstrated that

Functional characterization of hypertrehalosemic hormone receptor in relation to hemolymph trehalose and to oxidative stress in the cockroach Blattella germanica

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
Hypertrehalosemic hormone (HTH) is a peptide hormone that belongs to the AKH/RPCH (adipokinetic hormone/red pigment concentrating hormone) family, which exerts pleiotropic actions related to catabolic reaction and stress response.

RPamide neuropeptides NLP-22 and NLP-2 act through GnRH-like receptors to promote sleep and wakefulness in C. elegans

Scientific Reports, 2020
Sleep and wakefulness are fundamental behavioral states of which the underlying molecular principles are becoming slowly elucidated. Transitions between these states require the coordination of multiple neurochemical and modulatory systems.
