Methyl farnesoate (MF) is a unepoxidated form of insect juvenile hormone (JH) III that is
secreted by the mandibular organ (MO) in several crustaceans. MF was first isolated from …

In their monograph on crustacean endocrinology, p and Knowles suggested that crustacean
endocrinology phases and was about to enter its fourth phase. The mainly with studies of …

Several mandibular organ compounds and their derivatives were assayed in vitro to
determine their effects on oocytes from the shrimp, Penaeus vannamei. Pieces of adult …

Neuropeptides play a central role as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators and hormones in
orchestrating arthropod physiology. The post-genomic surge in identified neuropeptides and …

In previous study, we found that the cholesterol requirement of Eriocheir sinensis was

The early studies on the endocrinology and neuroendocrinology of crustaceans were
conducted during the first half of the twentieth century, in a comtemporary fashion with or a …

Molting in decapod crustaceans is regulated by ecdysteroids produced by a pair of Y-organs
(YOs) located in the cephalothorax. YO ecdysteroidogenesis is suppressed by molt …

Molting in crustaceans is a highly complex physiological process involving regulation by two
paired endocrine glands, the X-organ/sinus gland complex (XO/SG) and the Y-organ (YO) …

The putative neuropeptide, molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH), regulates crustacean growth by
periodically suppressing the secretion of ecdysteriod molting hormone from peripheral …

The Y‐organs (YOs) synthesize and secrete molting hormones, and thus regulate
crustacean growth and reproduction. However, the YOs of the orange mud crab Scylla …
