A quantitative assay for the juvenile hormones and their precursors using fluorescent tags. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The juvenile hormones (JHs) are sesquiterpenoid compounds that play a central role in insect reproduction, development and behavior. The lipophilic nature of JHs and their precursors, in conjunction with their low concentration in tissues and ...

A comparative analysis of corpora allata-corpora cardiaca microRNA repertoires revealed significant changes during mosquito metamorphosis [PDF]
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2018 The corpora allata (CA) are a pair of endocrine glands with neural connections to the brain and close association with another neuroendocrine organ, the corpora cardiaca (CC). The CA from adult female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes synthesize fluctuating levels of juvenile hormone (JH), which have been linked to the ovarian development and are influenced by ...

Mevalonate-Farnesal Biosynthesis in Ticks: Comparative Synganglion Transcriptomics and a New Perspective. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Juvenile hormone (JH) controls the growth, development, metamorphosis, and reproduction of insects. For many years, the general assumption has been that JH regulates tick and other acarine development and reproduction the same as in insects.

Juvenile Hormone inhibition in corpora allata from ovariectomized Blattella germanica
Physiological Entomology, 1994 Abstract. Ovariectomy has been used to study the role of the ovary in endocrine homeostasis. Our studies on young virgin adults of the cockroach Blattella germanica (L.) (Dictyoptera, Blattellidae) show that the cytological development of the corpora allata (CA) in ...

Nitric oxide/cGMP signaling in the corpora allata of female grasshoppers
Journal of Insect Physiology, 2011 The corpora allata (CA) of various insects express enzymes with fixation resistant NADPHdiaphorase activity. In female grasshoppers, juvenile hormone (JH) released from the CA is necessary to establish reproductive readiness, including sound production.

HISTOLOGY OF THE CORPORA ALLATA OF MELANOPLUS DIFFERENTIALIS (ORTHOPTERA: SALTATORIA)
The Biological Bulletin, 1948 1. The corpora allata of the grasshopper Melanoplus differentialis were studied histologically to determine whether these glands show changes related to their functions in the control of nymphal development and the production of ripe eggs and oviducal secretion.2. Four classes of cells were recognized in the corpora allata of this insect: a, connective

PLoS ONE, 2019 Allatoregulatory neuropeptides are multifunctional proteins that take part in the synthesis and secretion of juvenile hormones. In insects, allatostatins are inhibitors of juvenile hormone biosynthesis in the corpora allata while allatotropins, act as ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2013 The young larvae of insects living on dry food produce large amounts of water by the metabolic combustion of dietary lipids. The metabolic production of water needed for larval growth, previously known as hypermetabolic responses to juvenile hormone (JH),
