Dose‐response curves were measured with syntheticManducaadipokinetic hormone (AKH) for glycogen phosphorylase activation in larvae and for lipid mobilization in adults. Both responses are known hormonal functions inManduca sexta. In ligated larvae, full activation of glycogen phosphorylase was achieved with 0.1 pmol and half‐maximal activation with 0.03–0.04 pmol. Maximal lipid mobilization in adults required 10 pmol and half‐maximal mobilization 0.15 to 0.2 pmol, respectively.An estimate of AKH content of corpora cardiaca fromM. sextawas gained by comparing the dose‐response curves for syntheticManducaAKH with curves from gland extracts. Corpora cardiaca extracts were also quantitated by high performance liquid chromatography. According to both estimates corpora cardiaca of adults contain 10–20 pmol AKH per pair, while a pair of larval corpora cardiaca contains 0.7–2 pmol.
