| Summary: | age. Rates of HTH secretion and levels of stored HTE between nutritional status and rates of HTH synthesis and Biosynthesis of hypertrehalosemic hormone (HTH) by isolated concentrations, relative to control rates. corpora cardiaca (CC) from Blaberus discoidalis cockroaches ecdysis using an in vitro bioassay based on the incorporation effects or photophase influence on HTH synthesis were found. females were highest following the molt and declined with followed a similar pattern. No neural or endocrine brain glucose for optimal translation of HTH message was found. In starved insects, HTH synthesis doubled and secretion increased 66% relative to fed controls, while levels of incubated at the normal trehalose concentration. Rates of in levels (four times the physiological concentration) of of [3H]tryptophan. Synthetic rates for both males and secretion, in vitro effects by exogenously applied sugars stored HTH remained constant. To examine the relationship Synthetic rates by CC incubated in medium containing elevated trehalose were not significantly different from those for CC vitro HTH secretion were 45% lower at elevated trehalose was measured for the three-week period following adult were measured. A non-specific requirement for trehalose or |
