adipokinetic hormone (akh) (2432), locust

Adipokinetic hormone Gryllus bimaculatus (Grybi-AKH), an adipokinetic hormone, mobilizes lipids and carbohydrates from the insect fat body, effectively regulating energy homeostasis. It also enhances the locomotor activity of the two-spotted cricket and has potential applications in human medical studies for body weight regulation, weight loss induction, and the alleviation of glycogen storage disorders [1] [2] [3].

Adipokinetic Hormone (Apis mellifera ligustica, Bombyx mori, Heliothis zea, Manduca sexta), a peptide shared by diverse insects, elicits a potent adipokinetic/hypertrehalosemic response. Despite this, it lacks the function to mobilize glycogen and an adequate glycogen reserve in the fat body for effective utilization [1].

Adipokinetic Hormone (AKH) (24-32), locust (TFA), a neurohormone extracted from the corpora cardiaca of locusts, serves to regulate lipid utilization during flight [1].

Adipokinetic Hormone (AKH) (24-32), locust is a peptide hormone isolated from locusts.

Adipokinetic hormone I (Locusta migratoria) (Lom-AKH-I), an insect adipokinetic hormone (AKH), increases fat body cAMP levels in vitro. AKHs regulate the mobilization of carbohydrates and lipids from fat body stores for flight, through AKH receptor(s)' association with cAMP production and glycogen phosphorylase activation via the stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding protein (Gs) [1] [3].

Adipokinetic hormone II (Locusta migratoria) (Lom-AKH-II), an insect adipokinetic hormone (AKH), elevates fat body cAMP levels in vitro. These hormones (AKHs) regulate the mobilization of carbohydrates and lipids from fat body reserves for flight, by activating AKH receptor(s) that stimulate cAMP production and glycogen phosphorylase through the stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding protein (Gs) [1] [3].
