Abstract
In vivo tests give evidence that the epidermis is the target organ for the juvenile hormone of insects. A study of the distribution of injected 10,11-epoxy-6,7-trans-2,5-trawi-farnesyl-propenylether and of its metabolic products in epidermis, lymphae, and other organs demonstrated that the unaltered ether accumulates in the epidermis against a concentration gradient and is more slowly metabolised there than in the non-target organs.Keywords
