The results revealed increased level of AKH in insect body after the insecticide treatment, and modulation of basic markers of oxidative stress too. However, the latter discrepancies were eliminated/reduced by co-application of insecticides with AKH. Interestingly, it has been found that the co-application of insecticides with AKH increased significantly the insect mortality. This enhanced effect probably resulted from the stimulatory role of AKH on general metabolism. This elevation of metabolism could intensify the action of insecticides by its faster penetration into tissues and by an accelerated rate of exchange of metabolites including toxic ones, and resulted to higher mortality.
