Dynamics of ecdysone secretion and action in the fleshfly sarcophaga peregrina
TL;DR: The role of the blood is to serve, not as a reservoir, but as a pipeline through which ecdysone flows from the ring-gland to its sites of action and swift inactivation, which can account for its low titer in both the blood and tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
ECDYSONE AND ECDYSONE ANALOGUES: THEIR ASSAY ON THE FLESHFLY Sarcophaga peregrina.
Journal ArticleDOI
INACTIVATION OF α-ECDYSONE AND CYASTERONE BY LARVAE OF THE FLESHFLY, SARCOPHAGA PEREGRINA, AND PUPAE OF THE SILKWORM, SAMIA CYNTHIA
TL;DR: By the biological assay of hormone extracted from injected animals, it was possible to approximate the half-inactivation times of the endocrine activities provoked by the injection of α-ecdysone or cyasterone, and cyaster one's resistance to inactivation can fully account for its 2-fold greater activity in the larval fly.
