Ovariectomized (ovx) females of the lubber grasshopper accumulated much higher levels of hemolymph vitellogenin than sham controls during the first four weeks of adulthood. Surgeries were performed during the first three days of adulthood. Vitellogenin levels were measured by ELISA (Borst et al. 2000). The pattern of vitellogenin levels in sham females during the first clutch (ending at ∼42 d) is similar to previously published profiles (Hatle et al. 2001). Levels of vitellogenin in ovariectomized females over 28 d old were not quantified for each week.
