2001 article

Tissue distribution and lipophorin transport of hydrocarbons and sex pheromones in the house fly, Musca domestica

Schal, C., Sevala, V., L.Capurro Margareth, Snyder, T. E., Blomquist, G. J., & Bagnères, A. G. (2001, October 1). Journal of Insect Science, Vol. 1, p. 1.

By: C. Schal n , V. Sevala n, . L.Capurro Margareth *, T. Snyder n, G. Blomquist * & A. Bagnères *

topics (OpenAlex): Neurobiology and Insect Physiology Research; Insect and Pesticide Research; Insect Utilization and Effects
TL;DR: The results support a predicted model that lipophorin is involved in the transport of sex pheromone in M. domestica and suggest that lipphorin may play an important role in an active mechanism that selectively deposits certain subsets of hydrocarbons at specific tissues.

2000 article

Cuticular Hydrocarbons of the Dampwood Termite, Zootermopsis nevadensis: Caste Differences and Role of Lipophorin in Transport of Hydrocarbons and Hydrocarbon Metabolites

Sevala, V. L., Bagnères, A.-G., Kuenzli, M., Blomquist, G. J., & Schal, C. (2000, March 1). Journal of Chemical Ecology.

By: V. Sevala n, A. Bagnères *, M. Kuenzli*, G. Blomquist * & C. Schal n 

author keywords: lipophorin; hydrocarbon; termite; Isoptera; castes; cuticle; metabolism
topics (OpenAlex): Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Neurobiology and Insect Physiology Research; Insect and Pesticide Research
TL;DR: Findings are consistent with the hypothesis that lipophorin transports HC and some HC metabolites through the hemolymph from the sites of synthesis to the integument and from theIntegument to metabolic and excretory tissues. (via Semantic Scholar)

1999 article

Lipophorin of female Blattella germanica (L.): characterization and relation to hemolymph titers of juvenile hormone and hydrocarbons

Sevala, V., Shu, S., Ramaswamy, S. B., & Schal, C. (1999, May 1). Journal of Insect Physiology.

By: V. Sevala n, S. Shu *, S. Ramaswamy* & C. Schal n 

author keywords: Blattella germanica; lipophorin; juvenile hormone; hydrocarbon; hemolymph volume; ELISA
topics (OpenAlex): Insects and Parasite Interactions; Neurobiology and Insect Physiology Research; Insect Utilization and Effects
TL;DR: High density lipophorin from the hemolymph of the German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.) (Family Blattellidae), has an apparent molecular weight of 670kDa, with an isoelectric point of 7.0 and a density of 1.109g/ml, and may covary with the titers of lipid ligands that occur at high concentrations and require extensive shuttling through the Hemolymph.

1999 article

Site of synthesis, tissue distribution, and lipophorin transport of hydrocarbons in Blattella germanica (L.) nymphs

Young, H. P., Bachmann, J. A. S., Sevala, V., & Schal, C. (1999, April 1). Journal of Insect Physiology.

By: H. Young n, J. Bachmann n, V. Sevala n & C. Schal n 

author keywords: Blattella germanica; hydrocarbons; hemolymph; cuticle; lipophorin; epidermis
topics (OpenAlex): Neurobiology and Insect Physiology Research; Insects and Parasite Interactions; Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior
TL;DR: It is concluded that in the last stadium HC is synthesized by abdominal oenocytes, loaded onto hemolymph lipophorin, and transported to fat body and both nymphal and imaginal cuticle, suggesting that the fat body serves as a storage site for HC during cuticle formation.

topics (OpenAlex): Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior; Insects and Parasite Interactions; Neurobiology and Insect Physiology Research
TL;DR: Competitive displacement studies with racemic JH III, JH I, cuticular hydrocarbon, contact sex pheromone, and the JH analogs pyriproxyfen, fenoxycarb, and hydroprene showed that only JHIII readily displaced [ 3 H](10 R )JH III from the binding site. (via Semantic Scholar)

Reproductive biology of the German cockroach, Blattella germanica: Juvenile hormone as a pleiotropic master regulator

Schal, C., Holbrook, G. L., Bachmann, J. A. S., & Sevala, V. L. (1997, January 1). Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology.
