Characterization of the gut peptidome and the function of brain-gut peptides with regard to food intake and metabolism in Drosophila melanogaster and the agricultural pest Delia radicum

Characterization of the gut peptidome and the function of brain-gut peptides with regard to food intake and metabolism in Drosophila melanogaster and the agricultural pest Delia radicum

Regulatory peptides, which comprise neuropeptides and peptide hormones, are cell-cell signaling molecules that control a variety of biological processes in insects and other metazoans. The insect midgut, like the mammalian digestive system, contains numerous peptide-producing endocrine cells, and th...
