1, Insect hormones include ecdysone, thoracotropic hormone, and juvenile hormone.

2, It was recently reported that ecdysone and insulin signals crosstalk with each other to control insect body size.

3, Its major chemical constituents, including steroid saponin, ecdysone, flavones and so on, have been reported.

4, Conclusion The ecdysone-related transacting system in yeast has been constructed, and the model yeast can be used to screen the ecdysone agonists which can act on the ecdysone metabolic route.

5, Although the detail mechanism of MIH actions is unknown, it has shown that MIH can suppress the production of ecdysone through cyclic nucleotide-dependent pathway in crab and crayfish.

6, Yichongjing is a novel insecticide , it is highly specific to lepidopterous insects and acts as a safe and selective ecdysone agonist.

7, In insects, cholesterol is not only one of the main components of cell membranes, but also a precursor of ecdysone biosynthesis.

8, Molting in insects is triggered by rising levels of a hormone called ecdysone.
