Some effects of insect hormones on Na(^+), K(^+)-ATPase and fluid secretion by the malpighian tubules of locusta migratoria L [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
A study has been made on the effects of insect hormones on fluid secretion by the Malpighian tubules of Locusta, and on the Na(^+), K(^+)- ATPase activity in microsomal preparations of the tubules.

Bioactive compounds in insects—Composition, extraction, functionality, food applications, and safety concerns

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, Volume 3, Issue 3, Page 620-645, September 2026.
This review synthesizes 94 studies (2000–2025) exploring edible insects as sustainable sources of peptides, lipids, and chitin. Utilizing “green” extraction, these bioactives offer antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits for functional foods. However, addressing safety concerns like allergenicity and heavy metals through standardized frameworks remains ...

Representation of acoustic communication signals by insect auditory receptor neurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Despite their simple auditory systems, some insect species recognize certain temporal aspects of acoustic stimuli with an acuity equal to that of vertebrates; however, the underlying neural mechanisms and coding schemes are only partially understood.

Tissue-Specific Immune Gene Expression in the Migratory Locust, Locusta Migratoria

open access: yesInsects, 2015
The ability of hosts to respond to infection involves several complex immune recognition pathways. Broadly conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) allow individuals to target a range of invading microbes.

Bt Cry1Ab/2Ab toxins disrupt the structure of the gut bacterial community of Locusta migratoria through host immune responses

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
The gut microbiota of insects plays a vital role in digestion, nutrient acquisition, metabolism of dietary toxins, pathogen immunity and maintenance of gut homeostasis.

Edible Insect Allergens: An Emerging Food Safety Challenge

open access: yesSustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
Allergic responses to edible insects arise via two main pathways: cross‐reactivity with homologous arthropod allergens and primary sensitization to edible insect proteins, both leading to IgE‐mediated immune activation. ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly promoted as sustainable protein sources; however, their allergenic potential remains a ...

I hereby declare that the work presented in this document is based on research carried out by me, and that no part has previously been submitted for a degree in this or any other university [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Inhibitors of known transport processes, in conjunction with ion substitution were used in biochemical, physiological and microelectrode studies to investigate the mechanisms underlying ion and fluid secretion across the Malpighian tubules of Locusta ...

Time-resolved tympanal mechanics of the locust [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A salient characteristic of most auditory systems is their capacity to analyse the frequency of sound. Little is known about how such analysis is performed across the diversity of auditorysystems found in animals, and especially in insects.
