Analysis of genes expression of Spodoptera exigua larvae upon AcMNPV infection. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The impact of Autographa californica multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) infection on host gene expression in Spodoptera exigua 4th instar larvae was investigated through the use of 454 sequencing-based RNA-seq of cDNA libraries ...

Juvenile Hormone Studies in Drosophila melanogaster
In the field of insect endocrinology, juvenile hormone (JH) is one of the most wondrous entomological terms. As a unique sesquiterpenoid hormone produced and released by the endocrine gland, corpus allatum (CA), JH is a critical regulator in multiple ...

Skeletal manifestations of juvenile hypothyroidism and the impact of treatment on skeletal system
Thyroid hormone mediates growth and development of the skeleton through its direct effects and through its permissive effects on growth hormone. The effect of hypothyroidism on bone is well described in congenital hypothyroidism, but the impact of ...

Reconstruction of insect hormone pathways in an aquatic firefly, Sclerotia aquatilis (Coleoptera: Lampyridae), using RNA-seq [PDF]
Insect hormones: ecdysteroids and juvenile hormones have crucial functions during the regulation of different developmental pathways in insects. Insect metamorphosis is one of the primary pathways regulated by these hormones.

Defining behavioral and molecular differences between summer and migratory monarch butterflies
Background In the fall, Eastern North American monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) undergo a magnificent long-range migration. In contrast to spring and summer butterflies, fall migrants are juvenile hormone deficient, which leads to reproductive ...

Juvenile Hormone Induction of Esterases: A Mechanism for the Regulation of Juvenile Hormone Titer [PDF]
Within a few hours after injection of juvenile hormone into Hyalophora gloveri pupae, several fast-migrating carboxylesterases (EC 3.1.1.1) that are sensitive to di iso propylfluorophosphate appear in the hemolymph. Treatment of the pupae with puromycin
