Notes:
Juvenile hormone III was identified in purified hemolymph extracts of adult females of the cockroach Blatella germanica by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with chemical ionization and selected ion monitoring. Under these conditions, juvenile hormones I and II were not detected within the sensitivity ranges of this analytical method. For quantification purposes a 5,5-bisdeuterated analog of juvenile hormone III was synthesized and used as an internal standard. In general, juvenile hormone III titers obtained correlated with data on oocyte growth and with hormone titers found from in vitro corpora allata incubations along the first gonotrophic cycle.
