Insulin-Like Peptides and Cross-Talk With Other Factors in the Regulation of Insect Metabolism

Insulin-Like Peptides and Cross-Talk With Other Factors in the Regulation of Insect Metabolism

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 resistance, and lifespan. ILPs are encoded by multigene families that are expressed in nervous and non-nervous organs...
