Insect Hormone Detection

Insect hormones are trace active substances produced by insect endocrine glands with functions of regulating insect growth and development. There are three main types of hormones: brain hormone, molting hormone, and juvenile hormone. Brain hormone is a hormone secreted by neurosecretory cells in the insect brain, which can regulate and control the secretion of ecdysone in the larval prothymus gland. Molting hormone is a chemical secreted by an insect's anterior thymus, the role of molting hormone is control molting and metamorphosis. The main function of juvenile hormone is to inhibit the metamorphosis of immature larvae, maintain the characteristics of insect juvenile, and make larvae still after molting.
