Metabolic Aspects of Lipid Nutrition in Insects

Herausgeber: Mittler, T E

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book summarizes, discusses, and speculates on the essential lipid nutrients required by insects. It examines various ways in which insects convert diverse food-plant sterols into the major insect tissue sterols and how the insect sterols are metabolized into the ecdysone moulting hormones.
