The prothoracic gland (moulting gland) of Periplaneta americana, the main source of ecdysteroids, was found to secrete proteins besides ecdysteroids. The course of ecdysone and protein secretion during the last larval instar was determined under in vitro conditions. Ecdysteroid production in the pro

Morphological and physiological data were used to establish which motor neurons innervate known wing elevator and depressor muscles. Nerves to identified muscles were backfilled to establish the neuropilar morphology of neurons innervating each muscle. Individual motor neurons were recorded intracel
The phenoloxidase system responsible for the sclerotization of cockroach ootheca is found to be present as an inactive form in the left colleterial gland of Periplaneta americana. The supernatant fraction obtained by centrifugation of the milky white secretions contained the inactive phenoloxidase w
Ecdysteroidogenesis in Manduca sexta prothoracic glands is regulated by a set of bioregulatory molecules, including prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH) and a protein factor present in larval hemolymph, and by the competence of the glands to synthesize ecdysteroids in response to those molecules. A lar
