Sažetak
Adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) are insect neuropetides controlling stress situations including those elicited by insecticide treatment. So the aim of this research was to investigate the interactions of AKH under stress conditions caused by insecticide treatment, including the effects on the mortality of Pyrrhocoris apterus. The bugs were treated with 2 insecticides – endosulfan and malathion. Results showed that AKH cotreatment caused elevation of metabolism which could lead to faster penetration of insecticides into tissues and could be a reason for enhanced action of insecticides. Insecticide treatment caused significant increase of AKH content in CNS and haemolymph. Also, it was found that both endosulfan and malathion cause oxidative stress.
