| Abstract: | Summary The brain allatotropic hormone (ATTH) is released inGalleria mellonella from the Median neurosecretory cells located in the pars intercerebralis. These cells show the ability to elicit supernumerary larval molts upon implantation into sensitive host larvae, and the ability to in vitro stimulate the juvenile hormone synthesis in corpora cardiaca-corpora allata glands ofG. mellonella.11 November 1986Acknowledgments. I am greatly indebted to Wesleyan University (Connecticut, USA) for supporting this study. |
