THE EFFECT OF SEX AND ALLATECTOMY ON THE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION OF THE THORACIC MUSCULATURE OF THE INSECT, LEUCOPHAEA MADERAE [PDF]
The Biological Bulletin, 1956 1. Endogenous oxygen consumption of thoracic muscles of Leucophaea maderae was no higher in males than in females, but there was a significant increase in this parameter in allatectomized animals of both sexes.2. Preliminary tracer phosphorus studies were made in vivo and the relative specific activities of the muscle fractions are shown.

Role of juvenile hormone in the synthesis and sequestration of vitellogenins in the red cotton stainer, Dysdercus koenigii (Heteroptera : Pyrrhocoridae) [PDF]
, 2000 Investigations were carried out to determine the role of juvenile hormone (JH) and 20-hydroxy ecdysone in the synthesis and uptake of vitellogenins, which were earlier identified, purified and characterised, in Dysdercus koenigii. The concentration(s) of

Regulation of the Phonotactic Threshold of the Female Cricket, Acheta domesticus: Juvenile Hormone III, Allatectomy, L1 Auditory Neuron Thresholds and Environmental Factors [PDF]
, 1998 Juvenile hormone III (JHIII), when applied to the abdomen of 1-day-old female Acheta domesticus (in quantities that would create JHIII titers in the hemolymph that were within the range measured in females of this species) caused a significant decrease ...

Influence of juvenile hormone on growth and digestion in fifth instar larvae and adults of Locusta migratoria [PDF]
, 1974 Food utilization was measured in female fifth instar larvae and adults of the migratory locust by following the weight of food ingested, the weight of faeces produced, and the increase in body weight. These parameters were measured in normally developing

The influence of allatectomy on hemolymph JH titers. [PDF]
, 2014 Bumblebee workers receiving the same treatment were housed in groups of three in small cages without a queen. JH titers were determined at the age of 7 days with a JH-III specific radioimmunoassay. Shown are mean ± SE, and sample size within or above the

Juvenile hormone inhibits differentiation of olfactory sense organs during postembryonic development of cockroaches [PDF]
, 1974 The density of olfactory sense organs on the antenna of the cockroach, Leucophaea maderae, is relatively constant throughout larval development (average 400 sensilla/mm2), but undergoes a substantial increase at the adult state (to about 620 sensilla/mm2)

Cloning of the cDNA encoding Scg-SPRP, an unusual Ser-protease-related protein from vitellogenic female desert locusts (Schistocerca gregaria) [PDF]
, 1998 The cDNA coding for a Ser-protease-related protein (Scg-SPRP)(1) was cloned from desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria) midgut. The derived amino acid sequence consists of 260 residues and shows strong sequence similarity to insect trypsin-like molecules.
