Changes in titer of ecdysone in Bombyx mori during metamorphosis.
The amount of ecdysone extracted from Bombyx mori rose precipitously immediately before, and fell immediately after, transition from the larval to the pupal stage, and thereafter a secondary rise in titer was observed. These observations correlate very well with physiologic sequences of metamorphosis, critical period, and oxygen uptake.
