Abstract

An in vitro study in which isolated prothoracic glands of the Bombyx silkworm were cultured has provided definite evidence that the prothoracic gland is the site where molting hormone is synthesized. The hormone behaved very similarly to free ecdysone on thin-layer chromatography. Analysis by liquid chromatography and mass fragmentography revealed that the hormone is identical with alpha-ecdysone.

摘要

一项离体研究表明，在离体培养的家蚕前胸腺中，已经提供了确凿的证据表明前胸腺是蜕皮激素合成的部位。该激素在薄层层析中的行为与游离蜕皮酮非常相似。通过液相色谱和质谱碎片分析表明，该激素与α-蜕皮酮完全相同。
