Abstract
⺠Very few insect (neuro)peptides are still be bioactive after passage through the gut. ⺠Lipidization improves the efficacy of some orally ingested pharmaca/peptides. ⺠Injected corazonin-in-oil melanized the cuticle of an albino Locusta mutant. ⺠Orally ingested corazonin-in-oil melanizes the cuticle of nymphs and adults. ⺠Peptide in vegetable oil may serve as a simple but efficient slow release formula.
