Background. Neuropeptides are important regulators of physiological processes and
behavior. Although they tend to be generally well conserved, recent results using …

Neuropeptides are important messenger molecules that influence nearly all physiological
processes. In insects, they can be released as neuromodulators within the central nervous …

Background Ecdysis is an innate behaviour programme by which all arthropods moult their
exoskeletons. The complex suite of interacting neuropeptides that orchestrate ecdysis is well …

To help celebrate the 50th anniversary of General and Comparative Endocrinology, the
history of only a small portion of crustacean endocrinology is presented here. The field of …

The crustacean eyestalk CHH/MIH/GIH gene family represents a unique group of
neuropeptide originally identified in crustaceans. These neuropeptides shared a high …

Neuropeptides are a complex set of messenger molecules controlling a wide array of
regulatory functions and behaviors within an organism. These neuromodulators are cleaved …

In animal cells, the cell volume must remain close to constant; thus, the osmolality of the
cytosol must be kept almost equal to that of the cell-surrounding medium to prevent water …

The rapid increase in the number of putative cDNA sequences encoding crustacean
hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) family in various tissues [either from the eyestalk (ES) or …

The crustacean stomatogastric ganglion (STG) is modulated by both locally released
neuroactive compounds and circulating hormones. This study presents mass spectrometric …
