Involvement of Phosphorylation of Adenosine 5′-Monophosphate-Activated Protein Kinase in PTTH-Stimulated Ecdysteroidogenesis in Prothoracic Glands of the Silkworm, Bombyx mori

In this study, we investigated inhibition of the phosphorylation of adenosine 5′-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) by prothoracicotropic hormone (PTTH) in prothoracic glands of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. We found that treatment with PTTH in vitro inhibited AMPK phosphorylation in time- a...
