Ovary maturing parsin and diuretic hormone are produced by the same neuroendocrine cells in the migratory locust, Locusta migratoria.
In the migratory locust, the CRF-related diuretic hormone that stimulates fluid secretion by the Malpighian tubules, and the ovary maturing parsin, a neurohormone able to stimulate oogenesis, are produced by the same neuroendocrine cells of the pars intercerebralis in the brain.
