Hmgcr in the corpus allatum controls sexual dimorphism of locomotor activity and body size via the insulin pathway in Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 The insulin signaling pathway has been implicated in several physiological and developmental processes. In mammals, it controls expression of 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl CoA Reductase (HMGCR), a key enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis.

Juvenile Hormone Studies in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 In the field of insect endocrinology, juvenile hormone (JH) is one of the most wondrous entomological terms. As a unique sesquiterpenoid hormone produced and released by the endocrine gland, corpus allatum (CA), JH is a critical regulator in multiple ...

Effects of mating on female reproductive physiology in the insect model, Rhodnius prolixus, a vector of the causative parasite of Chagas disease. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023 The blood-sucking hemipteran Rhodnius prolixus is one of the main vectors of Chagas disease, a neglected tropical disease that affects several million people worldwide. Consuming a blood meal and mating are events with a high epidemiological impact since

Peripheral modulation of Pumilio in intestinal stem cells and the corpus allatum affects sleep latency in Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONEWhile central circuits governing sleep are well-studied, the contribution of signaling from peripheral tissues remains a critical yet less understood aspect of sleep regulation.

The intestinal stem cell/enteroblast-GAL4 driver, escargot-GAL4, also manipulates gene expression in the juvenile hormone-synthesizing organ of Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIntestinal stem cells (ISCs) of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, offer an excellent genetic model to explore homeostatic roles of ISCs in animal physiology.

Cyp6g2 is the major P450 epoxidase responsible for juvenile hormone biosynthesis in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Juvenile hormones (JH) play crucial role in regulating development and reproduction in insects. The most common form of JH is JH III, derived from MF through epoxidation by CYP15 enzymes. However, in the higher dipterans, such as the fruitfly,

The Corpus Allatum and the Control of Metamorphosis in Insects [PDF]
Nature, 1947 MOULTING in Rhodnius is initiated by a hormone secreted in the dorsum of the brain, and the premature metamorphosis of the young stages is prevented by a second hormone, the juvenile hormone secreted by the corpus allatum1–3. This conception of growth regulation in insects has proved applicable to Orthoptera4–7, Lepidoptera8–10 and Coleoptera11. In the
