Adipokinetic HorMone (Libellula Auripennis)

Uses

Adipokinetic Hormone (AKH) is a lipid mobilising hormone and is responsible for regulating fuel transport in the haemolymph, for redirecting energy to other processes as required by the insect. Lipid mobilisation by AKH can have a variety of uses for energy dynamics within insects and may be important in a range of functions that are related to insect survival.
