Adipokinetic hormone (Gryllus bimaculatus)  (Synonyms: Grybi-AKH)

Adipokinetic hormone Gryllus bimaculatus (Grybi-AKH) is an adipokinetic hormone that regulates energy homeostasis in insects by mobilizing lipid and carbohydrate from the fat body. Adipokinetic hormone Gryllus bimaculatus stimulates the locomotor activity of the two-spotted cricket. Adipokinetic hormone Gryllus bimaculatus can also be used in studies to regulate body weight, induce weight loss and alleviate glycogen storage disorders in humans^[1][2][3].

Adipokinetic hormone Gryllus bimaculatus (100 pmol/per; topical application; single) stimulates locomotory activity via the increase of haemolymph lipid titres^[1].
