What is the role played by adipokinetic hormone in the regulation of insect flight?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: During energy-demanding activities such as flight, adipokinetic hormone (AdK) is released by the corpora cardiacum and stimulates the mobilization of insect fat body lipid and glycogen stores. The resultant mobilized products (i.e., DAG, fatty acids, and trehalose) provide energy to the flight muscles.
