In normally fed mated O. porcinus females, the hormone titers fluctuated
rhythmically around mean background levels throughout the period of oogenesis
when assayed by the Muscatest. Although this mean value was not quantified, ...

In contrast to O. moubata, freshly laid eggs contained mainly free hormones and
to a small extent polar compounds after ecdysone was injected into ... The radio
label in eggs amounted, in some experiments, to 67% of the injected hormone.
