Role of juvenile hormone in the hypermetabolic production of water revealed by the 02 consumption and thermovision images of larvae of insects fed a diet of dry food
Original language description
We hypothesize that prothoracic gland activated by juvenile hormon releases an adipokinetic superhormone, which initiates the conversion of dietary lipid into metabolic water. This type of metabolic combustion of dietary lipid would produce large quantities of endothermic energy, which is dissipated by the larvae in the form of heat. Thermovision imaging revealed that the body of hypermetabolic larvae of G. mellonella can be as hot as 43°C or more. In contrast, the temperature of ?cold? normal last instar larvae did not differ significantly from that of their environment. It is highly likely that thermovision will facilitate the elucidation of the currently poorly understood hormonal mechanisms that initiate the production of metabolic water essentialfor the survival of insects that live in absolutely dry conditions.
