Ecdysteroids

These compounds are synthesized in arthropods from dietary cholesterol upon metabolism by the Halloween family of cytochrome P450s. Phytoecdysteroids also appear in many plants mostly as a protection agents (toxins or antifeedants) against herbivore insects.Ecdysterone has been tested on mammals due to the interest in its potential hypertrophic effect.
