Molting is a highly complex process that requires precise coordination to be successful. We
describe the early classical endocrinological experiments that elucidated the hormones and …

Molting processes in crustaceans are regulated by ecdysteroids produced in the molting
gland (Y-organ), and molting is indirectly controlled by circulating factors that inhibit the …

In crustaceans, molting is known to be under the control of neuropeptide hormones
synthesized and secreted from the eyestalk ganglia. While the role of molt-inhibiting …

Tricyclazole is used as a common fungicide to control rice blast. However, studies on the
toxicity of tricyclazole to crabs in the rice-crab co-culture system are still extremely rare …

In decapod crustaceans, arthropod steroid hormones or ecdysteroids regulate molting.
These hormones are synthesized and released from a pair of molting glands called the Y …

Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) controls global translation of mRNA into protein by
phosphorylating p70 S6 kinase (S6K) and eIF4E-binding protein-1. Akt and Rheb, a GTP …

In crustaceans the growth of the animal occurs by shedding of old exoskeleton and
formation of new exoskeleton. Immediately after ecdysis the newly synthesized cuticle up …

Ecdysteroid molting hormone synthesis is directed by a pair of molting glands or Y-organs
(YOs), and this synthesis is inhibited by molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH). MIH is a member of …

Physiological processes are regulated by a diverse array of neuropeptides that coordinate
organ systems. The neuropeptides, many of which act through G protein–coupled receptors …

Red king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) and snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) are deep-
sea crustaceans widely distributed in the North Pacific and Northwest Atlantic Oceans …
