Regulation of digestive enzyme levels in insects

摘要: Abstract Because of confusion over the use term secretagogue we propose that direct interaction an element meal with digestive enzyme-producing cells, resulting in increased rates enzyme synthesis or secretion, should be referred to as a prandial mechanism. Most studies suggest paracrine and/or mechanisms are main factors controlling and secretion insects. Distinguishing between two is significant challenge. In many insects, soluble proteins potent stimulants proteinase probably through prandial/paracrine pathways. The details involved unknown. Hormones (other than paracrine) play role modulating levels enzymes rather their absolute control. Feeding can effect control at either transcriptional translational level.
