昆虫飞行肌肉中的呼吸燃料储备通常只足以满足飞行开始时的能量需求，并且太小而无法维持长时间的飞行活动。因此，飞行肌肉必须从血淋巴中获取燃料。在蝗虫中，血淋巴的碳水化合物含量大于组织中储存的碳水化合物含量，但脂肪储备的情况正好相反（见Goldsworthy 1983）。在蝗虫持续飞行过程中，激素在协调燃料供应和利用方面发挥着重要作用，这将是本综述的主要主题。
Reserves of respiratory fuels in insect flight muscles are usually only sufficient to meet energy requirements at the initiation of flight, and are too small to sustain prolonged flight activity. The flight muscles must thus take up fuels from the haemolymph. In locusts, the carbohydrate content of the haemolymph is greater than that stored in the tissues, but the opposite is true for the fat reserves (see Goldsworthy 1983). Hormones play an important role in coordinating the supply and utilisation of fuels during sustained flight in locusts, and this will be the major theme of this review.
