Tsetse flies are distinguished from other Diptera by unique ... Read more
Functional characterisation of the hypertrehalosaemic hormone from the Indian stick insect Carausius morosus: metabolic and myotropic studies

Author: Katali, Ottilie Kandiwapa Hasiike Date: 2017 Neuropeptides of the adipokinetic hormone/red pigment concentrating hormone (AKH/RPCH) family are well known as regulators for many physiological processes in insects, notably energy metabolism, and a possible role in myostimulation. The ... Read more
The gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) system: a comparison between breeding and non-breeding naked mole rats (Heterocephalus glaber)

Author: Smith, Caitlin Date: 2010 Neuropeptides are well known to govern numerous biological functions and are found in all phyla studied to date. Probably the best known neuroendocrine system is the hypophyseal-portal system found in vertebrates, and one of the functions of ... Read more
In Silico Screening for Pesticide Candidates against the Desert Locust Schistocerca gregaria

Author: Jackson, Graham E ; Gäde, Gerd ; Marco, Heather G Date: 07 Mar 2022 Adipokinetic hormone (AKH) is one of the most important metabolic neuropeptides in insects, with actions similar to glucagon in vertebrates. AKH regulates carbohydrate and fat metabolism by mobilizing trehalose and diacylglycerol into circulation ... Read more c b
Molecular biological studies on neuropeptides of the adipokinetic hormone/red pigment-concentrating hormone family and the neuroparsin family in the arthropod sister groups of insects and crustaceans

Author: Anders, Lance Date: 2012 This study describes the identification of three novel precursor transcripts which includes the adipokinetic hormone (AKH) / red pigment-concentrating hormone (RPCH) and the neuroparsin (NP) from the South African spiny lobster, Jasus lalandii, ... Read more
Neuropeptide hormones from the eyestalks of Jasus Lalandii

Author: Marco, Heather G Date: 2000 The X-organ sinus gland complex, situated in the eyestalks of decapod crustaceans, are known to be a source of a variety of neuropeptide hormones that regulate a number of diverse physiological processes. This neuroendocrine complex was ... Read more
The nutritional effects of selected algae, prebiotics and commercial herbal feed additives on the growth rate and health of juvenile spotted grunter, Pomadasys commersonnii (Pisces: Haemulidae)

Author: Mbona, Anathi Date: 2017 In the aquaculture of fish and shrimps, diets generally contain high levels of fish meal. Fish meal is a nutrient rich feed that contains essential amino acids and fatty acids, which are required to maintain optimum growth and health of an ... Read more
Role and distribution of astaxanthin in spiny lobster, Jasus lalandii

Author: Matumba, Tshifhiwa Given Date: 2006 The occurance and distribution of astaxanthin in tissues of the spiny lobster, Jasus lalandii was investigated. The concentration of astaxanthin was quantified in the exoskeleton, haemolymph, muscles, gonads and hepatopancreas as well as in ... Read more
