Insect hormones as tsetse abortifacients
Nature, 1975FEMALE tsetse flies produce only one offspring at a time, the larva being retained within the uterus where it is nurtured from the female's milk gland1. The low reproductive potential resulting from this curious form of viviparity is a feature that can perhaps be exploited as a vulnerable link in the life cycle.

Hormones play an important role in insect behaviour. These hormones are mainly the neurohormones of the brain and of the corpus cardiacum, the juvenile hormone of the corpus allatum and the ecdysone of the prothoracic glands. These produce either releaser effects or modifier effects.

Toward a consensus nomenclature for insect neuropeptides and peptide hormones [PDF]
Peptides, 2011 The nomenclature currently in use for insect neuropeptide and peptide hormone families is reviewed and suggestions are made as to how it can be rationalized.

Peptides, 1985
Peptides with adipokinetic (and usually carbohydrate-mobilizing) potency have been demonstrated in various insects, including Locusta migratoria, Schistocerca gregaria, Manduca sexta, Danaus plexippus and Periplaneta americana. As far as characterized by now the adipokinetic factors are blocked peptides, consisting of eight to ten amino acid residues ...

MAPK-dependent hormonal signaling plasticity contributes to overcoming Bacillus thuringiensis toxin action in an insect host [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 The arms race between entomopathogenic bacteria and their insect hosts is an excellent model for decoding the intricate coevolutionary processes of host-pathogen interaction.

Hormonal Activation of the Insect Brain
Science, 1964A new endocrine function has been shown to play a role in insect morphogenesis. The hormone named proctodone is secreted by specialized cells of the hindgut and appears to affect the brain, resulting in the activation of the brain hormone-producing system.

Hormones Controlling Insect Metamorphosis
1980Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the control of postembryonic growth and metamorphosis. It highlights the chemistry, biochemistry, and regulation of prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH), juvenile hormone, and molting hormone (20-hydroxyecdysone, ecdysterone) in the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta, and deals only in a cursory manner with hormone
