Adipokinetic hormone (AKH), energy budget and their effect on feeding and gustatory processes of foraging honey bees
Abstract The adipokinetic hormone (AKH) of insects is considered an equivalent of the mammalian hormone glucagon as it induces fast mobilization of carbohydrates and lipids from the fat Military UAV body upon starvation.Yet, in foraging honey bees, which lack fat body storage for carbohydrates, it was suggested that AKH may have lost its original f
