Hormonal Regulation of Substrate Transport and Metabolism

  • Chapter
Energy Metabolism in Insects

Abstract

The rates of metabolic reactions in insect tissues vary considerably under different conditions and respond to physiological stresses that may arise during development, during environmental changes, or during flight. For example, substrate oxidation in insect flight muscle increases by more than one hundred times when an insect starts to fly (Sacktor, 1975). Such variations in metabolic rate require that the rate of substrate supply to the tissues should also respond to changes in demand. Substrate release and transport from storage sites is therefore regulated in accordance with changing physiological requirements, and part of this regulation is effected by hormones. Such hormonal regulation forms the topic of this review.
