Physiological Functions

Ecdysone (20-Hydroxyecdysone or 20E) is a naturally occurring ecdysteroid hormone which controls the ecdysis (moulting) and metamorphosis of arthropods. It is therefore one of the most common moulting hormones in insects, crabs, etc. It is also a phytoecdysteroid produced by various plants, where its purpose is presumably to disrupt the development and reproduction of insect pests. In arthropods, 20E acts through the ecdysone receptor. Although mammals lack this receptor, Ecdysone does appear to affect mammalian (including human) physiology, but there is disagreement over the details of its effects. Ecdysone is an ingredient of some preparations that aim to enhance physical performance. Generally speaking, for human body, promoting protein synthesis, eliminating cholesterol, regulating blood glucose and lipid, anti-arrhythmia, anti-fatigue, treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
