Neuropeptides (NPs) and their cognate receptors are critical effectors of diverse physiological processes and behaviors. We recently reported of a noncanonical function of the () gene in a subset of neurosecretory cells in the central nervous system that governs systemic glucose homeostasis in food-deprived flies. Here, we show that expressing neurons define six groups of NP-secreting cells, four in the brain and two in the thoracic ganglion.

Nanocrystals were obtained by hydrochloric acid hydrolysis. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) demonstrated that the length of solid particles were in the range of 112nm-4000nm.
