description Product Description

Adipokinetic Hormone (AKH) (24-32) plays a critical role in the regulation of energy metabolism in locusts. It is primarily involved in mobilizing lipids from the fat body, converting them into diacylglycerols, which are then released into the hemolymph to serve as an energy source during prolonged flight. This hormone ensures that locusts have the necessary energy reserves for long-distance migration, which is essential for their survival and reproduction. Additionally, AKH influences carbohydrate metabolism by promoting the breakdown of glycogen into trehalose, a sugar that provides immediate energy for muscle activity. Beyond its metabolic functions, AKH is also implicated in modulating behaviors such as feeding and locomotion, ensuring that locusts can efficiently respond to environmental demands. Its role in stress responses, particularly during periods of high energy expenditure, further highlights its importance in the physiology and adaptability of locusts.
