A validated HPLC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous determination of ecdysteroid hormones in subminimal amounts of biological material [PDF]
Journal of Lipid ResearchEcdysteroids represent a large class of polyhydroxylated steroids which, due to their anabolic properties, are marketed as dietary supplements. Some ecdysteroids also act as important hormones in arthropods, where they regulate molting, development, and ...

Furostanol Saponins and Ecdysteroids from Plants of the Genus Helleborus as Phagostimulants and Predator Deterrents for Larvae of Two Monophadnus Sawfly Species [PDF]
PlantsSawfly species of the genus Monophadnus are specialised on Ranunculaceae plants from which the larvae can sequester furostanol saponins into the haemolymph, mainly (25R)-26-[(α-L-rhamnopyranosyl)oxy]-22α-methoxyfurost-5-en-3β-yl-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)

17-Oxime ethers of oxidized ecdysteroid derivatives modulate oxidative stress in human brain endothelial cells and dose-dependently might protect or damage the blood-brain barrier. [PDF]
PLoS ONE20-Hydroxyecdysone and several of its oxidized derivatives exert cytoprotective effect in mammals including humans. Inspired by this bioactivity of ecdysteroids, in the current study it was our aim to prepare a set of sidechain-modified derivatives and ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 The insulin-like androgenic gland hormone (IAG) plays a key role in male sexual differentiation and spermatogenesis in crustaceans. The expression of IAG is usually negatively regulated by neuropeptide hormones through the “eyestalk-AG” endocrine axis ...

Ecdysteroids regulate the levels of Molt-Inhibiting Hormone (MIH) expression in the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Arthropod molt is coordinated through the interplay between ecdysteroids and neuropeptide hormones. In crustaceans, changes in the activity of Y-organs during the molt cycle have been regulated by molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH) and crustacean ...
