Following neurotransmitter stimulate adepokinetic hormone secretion

A. GABA

B. L-glutamate

C. Octopamine

D. Dopamine

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Neurotransmitter that stimulates adepokinetic hormone secretion is Octopamine.
Octopamine is highly concentrated in neurones of several invertebrate species. Unlike in mammals, octopaminergic neurones in invertebrates are spatially separated from catecholaminergic neurons.
Adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) are metabolic neuropeptides, mediating mobilization of energy substrates in many insects.
