A possible role of Schisto FLRFamide in inhibition of adipokinetic hormone release from locust corpora cardiaca

The distribution and actions of FMRFamide-related peptides (FaRPs) in the corpora cardiaca of the locust Locusta migratoria were studied. Antisera to FMRFamide and SchistoFLRFamide (PDVDHVFLRFamide) label neur...

Secretory stimulation induces the preferential release of newly synthesized peptide hormones by the neuroendocrine adipokinetic cells of Locusta migratoria

The influence of secretory stimulation on the release of adipokinetic hormones from the adipokinetic cells in the corpus cardiacum of Locusta migratoria was investigated both at the level of the secretory granule...

Immunocytochemical localization of lipophorins in the flight muscles of the migratory locust (Locusts migratoria) at rest and during flight

Locust lipoproteins (lipophorins) were localized by indirect immunofluorescence- and immunogold labelling in cryosections of dorsolongitudinal flight muscles. Immunolabelling was performed with monoclonal anti...

A dual function of alcohol dehydrogenase in Drosophila

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) of Drosophila not only catalyzes the oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde, but additionally catalyzes the conversion of this highly toxic product into acetate. This mechanism is demons...

Role of Lipids in Energy Metabolism

Most reviews of lipid metabolism in insects have covered all classes of lipid compounds. Since lipids are generally defined as substances poorly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, the authors ha...

Effect of excessive fatty acid ingestion upon composition of neutral lipids and phospholipids of snailHelix pomatia L.

The effect of an excessive intake of oleic acid on the lipids of the Roman snail (Helix pomatia L.) was studied. The total lipid content increased by 30% which was fully attributable to a marked elevation in the ...

Phospholipids of the pulmonate land snailCepaea nemoralis (L.)

The phospholipids of the snailCepaea nemoralis, comprising the major lipid fraction (65%) in this terrestrial pulmonate, were investigated by thin-layer and column chromatography. Detailed gas chromatographic ana...
