Growth and development are regulated by juvenile hormones.

They secrete the juvenile hormone, which regulate reproduction and metamorphosis.

Instead, it acts as a growth regulator, mimicking natural juvenile hormone of insects.

It was called simply the juvenile hormone.

An analogue of juvenile hormone is now used as a relatively safe means of pest control.

Chemical insecticides are too broad; juvenile hormones too limited.

The production of this juvenile hormone fluctuates.

Instead, it prevents immature insects from reaching maturity by mimicking juvenile hormone.

Juvenile hormone is produced in the corpora allata of insects.

They have a twofold function: they both inhibit the generation of juvenile hormone and reduce their food intake.

The most successful insecticides in this class are the juvenoids (juvenile hormone analogues).

In this species, juvenile hormone, a major regulatory insect hormone, stimulates begging and growth.

When the juvenile hormone was administered, larvae either did not metamorphose or grew into intermediate forms incapable of reproduction.

One way it does this is by increasing the production of a different hormone, juvenile hormone, which itself is important for ovary development.

Juvenile hormone (JH) has a profound effect on insects.

One is tempted to think that the thymus might produce some secretion which, like the juvenile hormone of insects, keeps a child from maturing.

It is likely that the balance between vitellogenin and juvenile hormone levels is also involved in swarming behavior.

Synthetic analogues of the juvenile hormone are used as an insecticide, preventing the larvae from developing into adult insects.

Like other insects, these beetles have a hormone called the juvenile hormone which keeps larvae as larvae.

The normal change from larva to adult is triggered by the larva ceasing production of juvenile hormone.

In insects, it starts when the fat body stimulates the release of juvenile hormones and produces vitellogenin protein.

Juvenile hormone 0 (found in Lepidoptera)

The corpora allata is responsible for the production of juvenile hormone (JH).

Other amine and neuropeptide neurotransmitters may also inhibit juvenile hormone biosynthesis.
