Long-term flight depends heavily on intensive energy metabolism in animals; however, the
neuroendocrine mechanisms underlying efficient substrate utilization remain elusive. Here …

Adipokinetic hormone (AKH) has been associated with the control of energy metabolism in a
large number of arthropod species due to its role on the stimulation of lipid, carbohydrate …
