Nocturnin promotes <scp>NADH</scp> and <scp>ATP</scp> production for juvenile hormone biosynthesis in adult insects

Abstract

Our results demonstrated that Noct plays a crucial role in high levels of JH biosynthesis in adult insects via regulating NADH and ATP production. The findings reveal a previously unknown aspect of mitochondrial metabolism in JH biosynthesis and provide valuable information for developing pest control strategies targeting hormone pathways. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
