Abstract excerpt
The expression and enzymatic activities of insecticide resistance-related cytochrome P450B are increased by the treatment with 20-hydroxyecdysone (20HE) in D. melanogaster Oregon R flies. We have explored the role of this hormone in the maintenance of P450B basal expression. Arrest of ecdysone synthesis led to a decrease in CYP6A2 mRNA level, as well as in P450B expression and activities. This effect occurred...
