[Hormonal control of vitellogenin synthesis in the Amphipoda Crustacea Orchestia gammarella (Pallas)].
The presence of a vitellogenin stimulating ovarian hormone (VSOH) in Orchestia gammarella has been demonstrated by gonadectomy and ovary grafting. Vitellogenin synthesis is not affected by molting hormone injection; it decreases after Y-organ (molting gland) cauterization. Studies in progress seem to indicate that the destruction of the median area of the protocerebrum is followed by a decrease of this synthesis.
