Blaberus hypertrehalosemic hormone

Figure 2. Dose-response effects by Blaberus hypertrehalosemic hormone on in vivo synthesis of trehalose (upper) and cytoheme ab (Iowct) in decapitated, adult male B. discoidalis.

Figure 3. Effects of bioanalogs of Blaberus hypertrehalosemic hormone on cytoheme ab synthesis in the fat body of 4-day old, adult male B, discoidalis. Values are mean+SEM. All animals were decapitated on day 0 and received 20 pmoles of peptide on days 2,3 and 4 followed by measurement of cytoheme cb synthesis on day 4.
