Abstract: Insects are enclosed in a rigid exoskeleton, providing protection from desiccation and mechanical injury. To allow growth, this armour needs to be replaced regularly in a process called moulting. Moulting entails the production of a… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms21207518
Abstract: Postembryonic development of insects is coordinated by juvenile hormone (JH) together with ecdysteroids. Whereas the JH early response gene krüppel-homolog 1 (Kr-h1) plays a crucial role in the maintenance of juvenile characteristics during consecutive larval… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/life12030387
Abstract: 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 from glycogen… read more here.
