The neurohormone tyramine stimulates the secretion of an insulin-like peptide from the Caenorhabditis elegans intestine to modulate the systemic stress response. by Tania Veuthey, Jeremy T Florman, Sebastián Giunti, Stefano Romussi, María José De Rosa, Mark J Alkema, Diego Rayes

“…Our data support a model in which tyramine negatively impacts environmental stress resistance by stimulating the release of INS-3 from the intestine via the activation of a TYRA-3-Gαq-IP3 pathway. The release of INS-3 systemically activates the DAF-2 pathway, resulting in the inhibition of cytoprotective mechanisms mediated by DAF-16/FOXO. …”
