Final instar larvae of S. mauritia treated topically on day 0, 1, 2 and day 3 with a daily dose of 20 microg juvenile hormone analogue (JHA) showed an increase in most of the nutritional parameters such as approximate digestibility, efficiency of conversion of ingested food, consumption index and growth rate. Also, the activities of digestive enzymes amylase, invertase, trehalase and protease i...

abstract because of relation between digestive enzyme activity and feeding of insects that directly is in relation with the damage of insects; studying digestive enzyme systems is important in finding new control methods based on inhibiting digestive enzyme activity. recently using transgenic plants containing enzyme inhibitors is important in improving resistance of crops to pests because of s...

In its acute forms, pancreatitis is a severe and frequently fatal disease, characterized biochemically by intrapancreatic activation of very powerful digestive enzymes.'0 The activation of these enzymes results in hydrolytic cleavage of cellular structures followed by generalized pancreatic necrosis, peritonitis, and vasomotor collapse."'8 In its chronic forms, pancreatitis is a disabling disea...
