The biosynthetic pathway of ecdysone: Studies with vitellogenic ovaries of Locusta migratoria (orthoptera)

Ovaries of adult females of Locusta migratoria synthesize impressive amounts of the steroid hormone ecdysone (and related ecdysteroids) during the late phases of vitellogenesis. The present study, aimed at elucidating the sequence of the biosynthetic steps that lead from cholesterol to ecdysone, has...
