“…Compared with the MF group, the content of various NLR in the haemolymph of silkworms was changed in the AF group, serotonin, adrenaline were upregulated, acetylcholine, γ‐aminobutyric acid, norepinephrine, taurine were downregulated. Acetylcholine is required of silkworm larvae for normal moulting to occur (Hayashiya et al, 1965), γ‐Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a very important inhibitory neurotransmitter in both vertebrate and invertebrate nervous systems (Ji et al, 2007; Yu et al 2010), adrenaline, norepinephrine could act as neurotransmitters in the silkworm nervous system (Josthna et al, 2010; Naokuni et al, 1991). So the change of these substances will certainly affect signal transduction inside and outside the cell, and may also affect the neural function of silkworms, this is bound to affect the normal activities of silkworms.…”

The new technology of silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) artificial feed breeding has many characteristics and advantages.This study assessed silkworm rearing with mulberry leaf at all instars (MF) as the control, and used metabolomics to explore the differences in haemolymph metabolism of fifth instar silkworms under two modes of rearing with an artificial diet at all instars (AF) and rearing with an artificial diet during first to third instars and mulberry leaf during the fourth and fifth instars (AMF). The results show that, compared with silkworms of the MF group, the amount and fold change of various metabolites were higher in the haemolymph of AF group silkworms, and the metabolism of amino acids and uric acid, carbohydrates, lipids, and vitamins were changed. These changes may be the reasons for the poor performance of the AF silkworms. However, the amount and fold change of the various metabolites of silkworms in the AMF group were lower, and some metabolic pathways were more active. The amount of material and energy supply were greater. These changes could explain the high efficiency growth of body weight of silkworms after the conversion from artificial diet rearing to mulberry leaf rearing. These findings provide an important theoretical basis for the optimisation of artificial diet rearing technology for silkworms.
