This review deals with some lesser known functions of adipokinetic hormones (AKHs),
specifically those that are not associated directly with flight activity. The data summarized …

Glucagon is conventionally regarded as a hormone, counter regulatory in function to insulin
and plays a critical anti-hypoglycemic role by maintaining glucose homeostasis in both …

Since all life processes depend on energy, the endocrine control of energy metabolism is
one of the driving forces for the performance of an individual. Here, we review the literature …

Trypanosoma rangeli is a protozoan parasite that infects triatomines and mammals in the
Americas, producing mixed infections with Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of …

Adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) are well known to mobilize lipids and carbohydrates for
energy-consuming activities in insects. These neuropeptides exert their functions by …

Age-dependent changes in flight performance, biochemical composition of flight muscles,
and fresh mass of the flight muscles and ovaries were analysed in adult female two-spotted …

Adaptive mobilization of body fat is essential for energy homeostasis in animals. In insects,
the adipokinetic hormone (Akh) systemically controls body fat mobilization. Biochemical …

Crustacean neuropeptides (NPs) play important roles in the regulation of most physiological
activities, including growth, molting and reproduction. In this study, we have performed an in …

Adipokinetic hormone (AKH) is a peptide hormone that regulates the nutritional state in
insects by supporting the mobilization of lipids. In the present study, we manipulated AKH …

Hypertrehalosemic hormone (HTH) is a neuropeptide within the adipokinetic hormone
(AKH) family that induces a release of trehalose from fat body into hemolymph in a number …
