Neuropeptides in the regulation of Rhodnius prolixus physiology.

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2017
In the kissing bug Rhodnius prolixus, events such as diuresis, antidiuresis, development and reproduction are triggered by blood feeding. Hence, these events can be accurately timed, facilitating physiological experiments. This, combined with its relatively big size, makes R. prolixus an excellent model in insect neuroendocrinological studies.

The hormonal and neural control of egg production in the historically important model insect, Rhodnius prolixus: A review, with new insights in this post-genomic era.

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2022
Rhodnius prolixus, the blood gorging kissing bug, is a model insect, extensively used by Sir Vincent Wigglesworth and others, upon which the foundations of insect physiology, endocrinology, and development are built. It is also medically important, being

The involvement of insulin/ToR signaling pathway in reproductive performance of Rhodnius prolixus.

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2021
Insulins are peptide hormones widely studied for their important regulatory roles in metabolism, growth and development. In insects, insulin signaling along with the target of rapamycin (ToR) are involved in detecting and interpreting nutrient levels ...

Chitin is a component of the Rhodnius prolixus midgut

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2016
Chitin is an essential component of the peritrophic matrix (PM), which is a structure that lines the insect's gut and protects against mechanical damage and pathogens. Rhodnius prolixus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) does not have a PM, but it has an analogous structure, the perimicrovillar membrane (PMM); chitin has not been described in this structure. Here,

Insulin receptor deficiency reduces lipid synthesis and reproductive function in the insect Rhodnius prolixus.

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2020
Rhodnius prolixus, a vector of Chagas disease, is a hematophagous insect that feeds exclusively on blood. Each blood meal is digested within the first fourteen days after feeding, providing substrates for lipid synthesis for storage and egg production ...

Blood meal drives de novo lipogenesis in the fat body of Rhodnius prolixus.

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2020
In insects, lipids are stored in the fat body mainly as triacylglycerol. Lipids can be directly provided by digestion and incorporated from the hemolymph, or synthesized de novo from other substrates such as carbohydrates and amino acids.

Uric acid synthesis in Rhodnius prolixus

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1970
Glycine-1-14C, glycine-2-14C, and sodium formate-14C were used to investigate the origin of the carbon atoms of uric acid in Rhodnius prolixus. As in other uricotelic organisms, the carboxyl carbon of glycine is incorporated into position 4 of uric acid, the alpha carbon of glycine goes to position 5, and the carbon of sodium formate is incorporated ...
