Independent insulin signaling modulators govern hot avoidance under different feeding states.
Title: Independent insulin signaling modulators govern hot avoidance under different feeding states.
it was demonstrated for the first time that insulin-like DILP6 protein in drosophila influences the level of octopamine (regulating the activity of the enzyme degrading octopamine).

suggest a feedback system in the interaction between juvenile hormone and DILP6 in which DILP6 negatively regulates the JH titre via an increase in the hormone degradation and a decrease in its synthesis
Title: Insulin-like peptide DILP6 regulates juvenile hormone and dopamine metabolism in Drosophila females.
Fat body-derived Drosophila insulin-like peptide 6 induces lipid uptake in oenocytes, promoting lipid turnover during fasting and increasing starvation tolerance.
Title: Control of metabolic adaptation to fasting by dILP6-induced insulin signaling in Drosophila oenocytes.
Drosophila insulin-like peptide-6 (dilp6) expression from fat body extends lifespan and represses secretion of Drosophila insulin-like peptide-2 from the brain.
Title: Drosophila insulin-like peptide-6 (dilp6) expression from fat body extends lifespan and represses secretion of Drosophila insulin-like peptide-2 from the brain.
Shows that Drosophila insulin-like peptide 6 (DILP6), which is structurally similar to vertebrate insulin-like growth factor (IGF), is predominantly expressed in the fat body, a functional equivalent of the vertebrate liver and adipocytes.
Title: A fat body-derived IGF-like peptide regulates postfeeding growth in Drosophila.
Study shows that during metamorphosis, when feeding stops, a specific DILP (Dilp6) is produced by the fat body and relays the growth signal; expression of DILP6 during pupal development is controlled by the steroid hormone ecdysone.
Title: A Drosophila insulin-like peptide promotes growth during nonfeeding states.
