Western Diseases: Their Emergence and Prevention

posium in his honor should cover a wide variety of topics in insect biochemistry and physiology. Therefore, this book contains two major sections. The first (Symposium on Insect Endocrinology) includes discussions of (1) Neuroendocrine regulation of a number of tissues and processes including endocrine glands, ecdysis, pupation, and diapause; (2) developmental response to juvenile hormone; and (3) the biochemical changes in cuticular proteins. The second section (Symposium on Insect Nutrition) is composed of papers exploring characterization of insect digestive enzymes, lipid and carbohydrate requirements, dietary modulation of NADP enzymes, measurement techniques in food utilization, and the complexities of the dietetic interaction of insects and plants. In the chapters on these subjects, the authors present unpublished results of ongoing research, so the book is of particular interest to those involved in biochemical research in entomology, endocrinology, nutrition, physiology, embryology, and cell biology.
