Abstract
Follicle cells of maturing ovaries of Locusta migratoria are demonstrated to synthesize the moulting hormone ecdysone (2beta,3beta,14alpha,22R,25-pentahydroxy-5beta-cholest-7-en-6-one). Studies of secretory kinetics under in vitro conditions show that the intensity of hormone secretion is strictly dependent on the stage of maturation of the excised ovaries.Keywords
