保幼激素(JH)是一种昆虫激素，负责控制各种生理和发育状态。在白蚁中，JH长期以来一直被认为在种姓分化中发挥着重要作用，尽管这种激素作用的详细机制尚不清楚。在本研究中，我们在湿木白蚁的假门(工种)中应用了三种破坏舌体(CA)的抗JH制剂，并评价了处理后对CA体积和JH滴度的影响。结果显示，前球蛋白II处理组在第14天出现CA变性，而对照组没有观察到这种变性。相反，前球蛋白-II治疗组和相应的对照组之间的JH滴度没有明显差异。这些结果表明，CA的退化并不总是与JH滴度的下降相关。因此，在局部白蚁物种中，前驱虫烯作为抗JH药剂并不有效。这些结果表明，同时检测JH滴度和CA大小是评估抗JH药物疗效的重要考虑因素。
Juvenile hormone (JH) is an insect hormone that is responsible for the control of a variety of physiological and developmental states. In termites, JH has long been considered to play an important role in caste differentiation, although the detailed mechanisms underlying the actions of the hormone are not well understood. In this study, we applied three types of precocenes, anti-JH agents that destroy the corpora allata (CA), to pseudergates (workers) of the damp-wood termite Hodotermopsis sjostedti, and evaluated the effects on the CA volume and JH titer after the treatments. Results showed degeneration of the CA at day 14 in the precocene-II-treated group, which was not observed in the control group. Conversely, no significant difference in the JH titer was apparent between precocene-II-treated groups and their corresponding controls. These results indicate that CA degeneration is not always correlated with a decrease inJH titer. Precocenes are thus not effective as anti-JH agents in the focal termite species. These findings indicate that simultaneous examination of JH titer and CA size are important considerations for evaluating the effects of anti-JH agents.
