Effect of Allatectomy, Brain-Cauterization and Juvenoid Treatment on the Activity of some Cellular Enzymes of Schizodactylus Monstrosus Drury [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 1982
Changes in the activities of general esterase, l-alanine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase (GPT), l-aspartate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase (GOT), acid and alkaline phosphatase after allatectomy, brain-cauterization and juvenoid treatment have been studied.

Juvenile hormone biosynthesis in female larvae of Diploptera punctata and the effect of allatectomy on haemolymph ecdysteroid titre

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1986
Abstract Using an in vitro radiochemical assay, rates of juvenile hormone III biosynthesis/release by the corpora allata were determined in female larvae (1st–4th instars) of the cockroach, Diploptera punctata. Higher rates were observed principally in the latter half of the 1st–3rd stadia, whereas juvenile hormone release was undetectable in the ...

Effect of allatectomy on lipid biosynthesis and turnover in the female American cockroach, Periplaneta americana (L.)

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1965
Abstract The control of the corpora allata over lipid biosynthesis and turnover was studied in the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana (L.), by using 1- 14 C-acetate as a precursor. The labelled acetate was injected into allatectomized and control roaches and the time-curve of the appearance of label in lipid fractions was determined.

Effect of allatectomy and ventral nerve cord transection on calling, pheromone emission and pheromone production in Lymantria dispar

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1987
Abstract The physiological control mechanisms of calling, pheromone production, and pheromone release in female gypsy moths were investigated. No involvement of the corpora allata was found since mean pheromone emission rates from females allatectomized as larvae (14.1 ng/h) were not significantly different from sham-operated (16.4 ng/h ...

Effect of allatectomy on fat body lipid metabolism of the male desert locust during adult development

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1971
Abstract The effect of allatectomy on the changes in fat body lipid metabolism during adult development of the male desert locust ( Schistocerca gregaria ) has been investigated. All the operations were carried out 4 days after adult emergence. Allatectomy had no appreciable effect on the specific activity of acetate incorporation into lipid, but ...

Precocious reprogramming of eupyrene-apyrene spermatogenesis commitment induced by allatectomy of the penultimate larval instar of the moth Actias selene

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1981
Abstract A possible causal relationship between the switch-over from eupyrene to apyrene spermatogenesis and pupation in Lepidoptera was examined in Actias selene. Precocious pupation, 11 days earlier than in the controls, was induced by allatectomy on the first day of the penultimate larval instar.

Disparity between in vivo and in vitro synthesis of yolk protein by fat bodies of vitellogenic Locusta migratoria after allatectomy

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1980
Abstract Allatetomy of female locusts at an early stage of oocyte maturation halts subsequent development of terminal oocytes, but this is not due to lack of vitellogenin in the hemolymph. The fat body ceases to secrete vitellogenin in vivo shortly after allatectomy.

The effect of allatectomy upon reproduction and development of the cotton leaf-worm, Spodoptera littoralis

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1971
Abstract Allatectomy in the final instar larvae of Spodoptera littoralis resulted in miniature adults. Ablation of the corpora allata from the fifth instar larvae, however, led to premature pupation omitting the sixth instar. The pharate pupae obtained ecdysed into midget pupae that did not develop into adults. Mated with intact (unoperated) males,

Control of juvenile hormone biosynthesis during the reproductive cycle of a viviparous cockroach II. Effects of unilateral allatectomy, implantation of supernumerary corpora allata, and ovariectomy

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1978
Using a direct radiochemical assay, the effects of implantation of supernumerary corpora allata (CA), unilateral allatectomy, and ovariectomy on rates of juvenile hormone (JH) biosynthesis by the CA and on the duration of the gonotrophic cycle have been investigated during the first gonotrophic cycle of the viviparous cockroach Diploptera punctata ...

Ommochrome synthesis and kynurenic acid excretion in relation to metamorphosis and allatectomy in the stick insect, Carausius morosus Br.

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1979
Abstract End products of tryptophan metabolism in Carausius morosus are the ommochromes ommin and xanthommatin in the epidermis, and kynurenic acid in the faeces. During larval and adult life ommochromes and mainly kynurenic acid are formed. The concentration of kynurenic acid in the faeces of adult females is 2.5 times lower than in the larvae and ...
