The insulin-like peptide (ILP) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signalling pathways play a
crucial role in the regulation of metabolism, growth and development, fecundity, stress …

Research shows that reduced sleep duration is related to an increased risk of obesity. The
relationship between sleep deprivation and obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic …

The enteroendocrine cell (EEC)-derived incretins play a pivotal role in regulating the
secretion of glucagon and insulins in mammals. Although glucagon-like and insulin-like …

Control of insulin mRNA translation is crucial for energy homeostasis, but the mechanisms
remain largely unknown. We discovered that insulin mRNAs across invertebrates …

Hormones regulate development, as well as many vital processes in the daily life of an
animal. Many of these hormones are peptides that act at a higher hierarchical level in the …

Animal feeding is controlled by external sensory cues and internal metabolic states. Does it
also depend on enteric neurons that sense mechanical cues to signal fullness of the …

The organs and metabolic pathways involved in energy metabolism, and the process of ATP
production from nutrients, are comparable between humans and Drosophila melanogaster …

The insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway is an evolutionary conserved
pathway across metazoans and is required for development, metabolism and behavior. This …

Insulin‐like peptides (ILPs) belong to the insulin superfamily and act as hormones,
neuromediators, and growth factors during the post‐embryonic life‐cycle stages of insects …

Overweight and obesity are health conditions tightly related to a number of metabolic
complications collectively called “metabolic syndrome”(MetS). Clinical diagnosis of MetS …
