UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007605	Juvenile Hormones	Compounds, either natural or synthetic, which block development of the growing insect.	Insect Growth Regulator,Insect Growth Regulators,Juvenile Hormone,Growth Regulators, Insect,Regulators, Insect Growth,Growth Regulator, Insect,Hormone, Juvenile,Hormones, Juvenile,Regulator, Insect Growth
D008074	Lipoproteins	Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes.	Circulating Lipoproteins,Lipoprotein,Lipoproteins, Circulating
D009865	Oocytes	Female germ cells derived from OOGONIA and termed OOCYTES when they enter MEIOSIS. The primary oocytes begin meiosis but are arrested at the diplotene state until OVULATION at PUBERTY to give rise to haploid secondary oocytes or ova (OVUM).	Ovocytes,Oocyte,Ovocyte
D003335	Corpora Allata	Paired or fused ganglion-like bodies in the head of insects. The bodies secrete hormones important in the regulation of metamorphosis and the development of some adult tissues.	Corpus Allatum,Corpus Cardiacum,Allata, Corpora,Allatum, Corpus
D005216	Fat Body	A nutritional reservoir of fatty tissue found mainly in INSECTS and AMPHIBIANS.	Amphibian Fat Body,Insect Fat Body,Amphibian Fat Bodies,Body, Amphibian Fat,Fat Bodies,Fat Bodies, Amphibian,Fat Body, Amphibian,Fat Body, Insect,Insect Fat Bodies
D005260	Female		Females
D006110	Grasshoppers	Plant-eating orthopterans having hindlegs adapted for jumping. There are two main families: Acrididae and Romaleidae. Some of the more common genera are: Melanoplus, the most common grasshopper; Conocephalus, the eastern meadow grasshopper; and Pterophylla, the true katydid.

D000273	Adipose Tissue	Specialized connective tissue composed of fat cells (ADIPOCYTES). It is the site of stored FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. In mammals, there are two types of adipose tissue, the WHITE FAT and the BROWN FAT. Their relative distributions vary in different species with most adipose tissue being white.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.	Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D014819	Vitellogenins	Phospholipoglycoproteins produced in the fat body of egg-laying animals such as non-mammalian VERTEBRATES; ARTHROPODS; and others. Vitellogenins are secreted into the HEMOLYMPH, and taken into the OOCYTES by receptor-mediated ENDOCYTOSIS to form the major yolk proteins, VITELLINS. Vitellogenin production is under the regulation of steroid hormones, such as ESTRADIOL and JUVENILE HORMONES in insects.	Microvitellogenin,Vitellogenin,Vitellogenin II
