## Abstract The adipokinetic cells are neuron‐like unipolar cells, the cell bodies and cell processes of which are intermingled within the glandular part of the corpus cardiacum. In __Schistocerca gregaria__, they produce two adipokinetic hormones, AKH‐I and ‐II, whereas in __Locusta migratoria__ a
Romalea microptera corpus cardiacum (RCC) contains large quantities of peptide material that is capable of eliciting strong hyperlipemic (maximum increase, 26 mg/ml; locusts) and hypertrehalosemic (maximum increase, 27 mg/ml; cockroaches) responses in test species. Calculations indicate that RCC con
## Abstract In this study, we describe a method for the separation of AKH/RPCH‐family peptides using isocratic high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This improved method is simple, rapid, and sensitive and bypasses many of the difficulties associated with gradient HPLC. We have previously
