The juvenile hormones (JHs) play critical roles during insect development and reproduction. The numerous effects of JHs have generated multiple basic scientific questions, as well as prospects for the development of insecticidal endocrine disruptors. There is an increasing need for methods to identify and quantify endogenous JHs. The low titers and difficulties in working with these lipophilic compounds have often hindered the study of JH biology. In this article, we review the existing information on the detection and quantification of JH from insect samples, the development of approaches to manipulate JH titers, and the use of next-generation tools to modulate JH homeostasis.
