Adipokinetic hormone induces changes in the fat body lipid composition of the beetle Zophobas atratus
In insects, neuropeptide adipokinetic hormone (AKH) released from the corpora cardiaca mobilizes lipids and carbohydrates in the fat body. We examined the developmental differences in the action of… Expand
