## Abstract Measurements of Ca^2+^ influx in Fura‐2/AM loaded steroidogenic cells (prothoracic glands; PGs) of the silkworm, __Bombyx mori__ showed that application of the neuropeptide prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH) can increase the intracellular [Ca^2+^]~i~. This PTTH‐mediated Ca^2+^ influx in
Protein kinase A and C are “Gatekeepers” of capacitative Ca2+ entry in the prothoracic gland cells of the silkworm, Bombyx mori

## Abstract Application of the tetradecapeptide mastoparan to the prothoracic glands (PGs) of the tobacco hornworm, __Manduca sexta__, and the silkworm, __Bombyx mori__, resulted in increases in intracellular Ca^2+^ ([Ca^2+^]~i~). In __M. sexta__, Gi proteins are involved in the mastoparan‐stimulat
## Abstract DNA synthesis in prothoracic gland cells of the silkworm, __Bombyx mori__, was studied immunocytochemically after in vivo labeling with 5–bromo–2'–deoxyuridine (BrdU), and its developmental changes during the 3rd, 4th, and last larval instars were examined. During the early stages of bo
