Abstract excerpt
The dopamine (DA) content and the level of juvenile hormone (JH) degradation were studied in females of the wild-type Canton S strain and the ecdysoneless1 (ecd1) mutant, which does not produce ecdysone at a restrictive temperature (29 degrees C). Exposure at the restrictive temperature considerably increased the JH-hydrolyzing activity and the DA content in five-day ecd1 females compared with flies of both...
