Abstract
The neurosecretory corpora cardiaca/corpora allata complex of Carausius morosus, a wingless insect of the superorder Orthopteroidea, contains adipokinetic and hyperglycaemic factor(s) capable of elevating lipids in locusts, and carbohydrates in cockroaches. Neither activity can be demonstrated in the stick insect itself, however. In addition, in locusts the Carausius gland extract is able to elevate levels of cyclic AMP in the fat body.Keywords
