From: 20-Hydroxyecdysone (20E) signaling as a promising target for the chemical control of malaria vectors
Anautogenous mosquitoes use the blood nutrients to produce egg components in the fat body. In Aedes aegypti, digestion of the blood meal involves several metabolic processes (indicated in boxes), many of which are regulated by 20E signaling, as indicated by the “20E” label. The carbohydrate-related metabolic pathways are indicated in green boxes, while the lipid-related metabolic pathways are indicated in red boxes.
