Sex determination gene transformer regulates the male-female difference in Drosophila fat storage via the adipokinetic hormone pathway

eLife, 2021
Sex differences in whole-body fat storage exist in many species. For example, Drosophila females store more fat than males. Yet, the mechanisms underlying this sex difference in fat storage remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify a key role for

Aliskiren Hemifumarate Proliposomes for Improved Oral Drug Delivery: Formulation Development, In Vitro and In Vivo Permeability Testing

Molecules, 2022
The objective of this study was to develop proliposomal formulations for a poorly bioavailable drug, aliskiren hemifumarate (AKH). A solvent evaporation method was used to prepare proliposomes using different lipids.

Disruption of Adipokinetic Hormone Mediated Energy Homeostasis Has Subtle Effects on Physiology, Behavior and Lipid Status During Aging in Drosophila

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
The impact of disruption of adipokinetic hormone (AKH) signaling was studied during aging in Drosophila in a sexually dimorphic manner. A mutant (Akh1) producing a non-functional AKH peptide was compared with isogenized wild-type controls (w1118), and ...

Structure-Activity Studies on the Hypertrehalosemic Hormone II of the Stick Insect Carausius morosus (Phasmatodea): Carbohydrate-Mobilization and Cardio-Stimulatory Activities

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
The corpora cardiaca of the Indian stick insect, Carausius morosus, synthesize two decapeptide neuropeptides of the adipokinetic hormone (AKH) family, both of which can increase the trehalose levels in the hemolymph when the stick insect is ligated ...
