Overview | ecdysone acts on the human body to promote protein synthesis, eliminate cholesterol, inhibition of blood sugar rise and other physiological activities, folk for rheumatoid arthritis. In the silkworm industry, it is used to promote the shortening of the silkworm age and the promotion of spinning and cocoon; In the aquaculture industry, the breeding of shrimp and crab is also widely used; In cosmetics, ecdysone is also used as a special additive; Ecdysone is added to cosmetics to prevent dry skin and make skin more delicate. Ecdysone can affect all developmental stages of insects from Hatched larvae to adults, so it controls or kills agricultural pests, and has been developed and applied as the third generation pesticide; ecdysone also has some effects on the physiological process of crops, and has a good prospect of development and application in the field of crop production aids. |
properties | light yellow crystalline powder, odorless, hygroscopic, gradually darkened in color after light exposure. |
component | ecdysone or ecdysteroid and ecdysteroid are steroid hormones of arthropods involved in the regulation of molting and development, and to a lesser extent affect reproduction. Ecdysone includes ecdysone, 20-hydroxy ecdysone, 2-deoxyecdysone, etc. These compounds are typically converted from foodborne cholesterol, catalytically produced by enzymes of the hallowed gene family in cytochrome P450. Many plants often contain phytoecdyssteroids that act as toxins or antifeedants against phytophagous insects. |
Application | the effect of ecdysone on human body can promote the synthesis of collagen protein, anti-arrhythmia, anti-fatigue; Promote cell growth, stimulate the dermal cell division, eliminate cholesterol in the body; Reduce blood fat, inhibit blood sugar rise; Through the meridians, dehumidifying analgesic and other physiological activities; Is a natural anti-cancer agent; Dew grass ecdysone since its birth in 1976, irregular tablets, injections and ointments have been developed. Folk for rheumatoid arthritis, the treatment of different symptoms of rheumatism and arthritis patients have good curative effect, the effective component of 20-hydroxy ecdysterone has been proved by clinical studies to have a direct hypoglycemic effect, the total effective rate of type II diabetes was 84%, and it was especially obvious to improve the symptoms of "three more and one less" in diabetic patients. |
Use | ecdysone is used to shorten the silkworm age, promote the tuft neat, promote spinning and cocoon; Hormone; High-grade cosmetics; Health products. β-ecdysone has the effects of promoting the synthesis of collagen protein, anti-arrhythmia and anti-fatigue. its key role in insect growth, development, cell expansion and apoptosis is to regulate molting and metamorphosis by regulating gene expression. |
