Identification and characterization of adipokinetic hormone (Locusta migratoria)-like immunoreactivity in the human cerebrospinal fluid.
Using an antiserum raised against locust adipokinetic hormone I, considerable quantity of adipokinetic hormone-like immunoreactivity was demonstrated in the human cerebrospinal fluid. The immunoreactivity was characterized by gel permeation and high performance liquid chromatography. The main immunoreactive component in the cerebrospinal fluid coeluted with adipokinetic hormone I. These results suggest that adipokinetic hormone may contribute to the neuronal function in the human central nervous system.
