Relationship between Rab and insulin-like proteins in the nervous system of Bombyx mori
European Journal of Entomology, 2021 Rab proteins are small GTP-binding proteins and are the largest family in the Ras GTPase superfamily and mediate vesicular transport in cells. Diverse insulin-like peptides, such as bombyxin, are synthesized in the brain and secreted into the haemolymph ...

Regulation of Drosophila Long-Term Courtship Memory by Ecdysis Triggering Hormone
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Endocrine state is an important determinant of learning and memory in animals. In Drosophila, rejection of male courtship overtures by mated females leads to an aversive response manifested as courtship memory.

Peptide Hormones in the Insect Midgut
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Insects produce many peptide hormones that play important roles in regulating growth, development, immunity, homeostasis, stress, and other processes to maintain normal life. As part of the digestive system, the insect midgut is also affected by hormones

Model of the insulin pathway regulating the expression of the HMGCR in the corpus allatum. [PDF]
, 2013 We hypothesize that the two different populations of cells, the Insulin Producing Cells (IPCs) and the feminising cells (FCs), located in the pars intercerebralis control, by two distinct ways, the JH synthesis/release by the corpus allatum.

European Journal of Entomology, 2008 We studied the development of the indirect flight muscles and reproductive organs in long-winged (macropterous) adults of the flightless bug Pyrrhocoris apterus (L.) and the factors involved in flight muscles histolysis by means of total protein analysis.

Glutamate-induced rise in cytosolic calcium concentration stimulates in vitro rates of juvenile hormone biosynthesis in corpus allatum of Diploptera punctata [PDF]
, 2010 [[abstract]]We show that in a cockroach, Diploptera punctata, endocrine function of the corpus allatum may be modulated by L-glutamate, a major fast excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system of vertebrates and invertebrates.

Endocrine modulation of primary chemosensory neurons regulates Drosophila courtship behavior.
PLoS Genetics, 2022 The decision to engage in courtship depends on external cues from potential mates and internal cues related to maturation, health, and experience. Hormones allow for coordinated conveyance of such information to peripheral tissues.
