bombyxins

12/01/1990 - "Four medial neurosecretory cells (MNC) and 4 lateral neurosecretory cells (LNC) in each brain hemisphere, and one pair of cells in each thoracic ganglion (TG) of Galleria larva react with antibodies against bombyxin and insulin. "
03/01/1993 - "Antibodies to bombyxin, PTTH, allatostatin, and DH also stain axons and axon terminals in the neurohemal part of the ring gland, and all tested antibodies except that against bombyxin show positive reaction in the neurohemal area of the ventral ganglion. "

06/01/2000 - "These results indicate that the release of bombyxin from the brain is suppressed by starvation and stimulated by feeding. "
06/01/2000 - "Following starvation, the bombyxin titer in the hemolymph of larvae decreased, whereas its content in the brain increased. "
06/01/2000 - "The hemolymph glucose titer also changed sharply upon starvation and refeeding, and a close relationship was observed between the changes in glucose concentrations and bombyxin titers in the hemolymph. "
11/01/2008 - "Phosphorylation of BomAkt was observed both in the isolated fat body after exposure to bombyxin, an endogenous insulin-like peptide, and in the larval fat body by refeeding a diet after starvation. "
06/01/2000 - "The effects of starvation and feeding on the release of bombyxin, a peptide of insulin superfamily in insects, from the larval brain of the silkworm Bombyx mori were investigated. "

01/01/2023 - "The neural bulbs contained several neuropeptides (e.g., bombyxin-type, starfish myorelaxant peptide, secretogranin 7B2-like, Ap15a-like, and ApNp35) and Deleted in Malignant Brain Tumor 1-like proteins. "

10/01/2016 - "Effect and safety of Shengxuening (extract from excrement of bombyxin) for renal anemia: a systematic review."
10/01/2016 - "To assess the effect and safety of Shengxuening (SXN), extract from excrement of bombyxin, in the treatment of renal anemia, compared to ferrous succinate and ferrous sulfate. "
