Adipokinetic hormone Gryllus bimaculatus (Grybi-AKH) is an adipokinetic hormone that regulates energy homeostasis in insects by mobilizing lipid and carbohydrate from the fat body. Adipokinetic hormone Gryllus bimaculatus stimulates the locomotor activity of the two-spotted cricket. Adipokinetic hormone Gryllus bimaculatus can also be used in studies to regulate body weight, induce weight loss and alleviate glycogen storage disorders in humans.
