Primary defect of insulin receptors in skin fibroblasts cultured from an infant with leprechaunism and insulin resistance.

abstract：:Mosquitoes are major disease vectors because most species must feed on blood from a vertebrate host to produce eggs. Blood feeding by the vector mosquito Aedes aegypti triggers the release of two neurohormones, ovary ecdysteroidogenic hormone (OEH) and insulin-like peptides (ILPs), which activate multiple processes re...
