Neuropeptide F (NPF)-like immunoreactivity was previously found to be abundant in the eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes. Purification of the NPF from a whole body extract of worker termites was accomplished in the current study by

Plant sucking heteropteran bugs feed regularly on small amounts of K(+)-rich plant material, in contrast to their hematophagous relatives which imbibe large volumes of Na(+)-rich blood. It was anticipated that this would be reflected in the endocrine

The blood-feeding hemipteran, Rhodnius prolixus, ingests a large blood meal at the end of each larval stage. To accommodate and process this meal, its cuticle undergoes plasticisation, and its gut and Malpighian tubules respectively absorb and secret

Immunohistochemical staining revealed proctolin-like immunoreactivity in nerve endings associated with the hindgut of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii. Proctolin-like bioactivity, detected using both locust oviducts and crayfish hindguts for bioassay

Serotonin at 10−6M concentration induces an average 12-fold increase in cyclic AMP levels in dorsal abdominal epidermis of fifth-instar larval Rhodnius prolixus. The epidermal serotonin receptor is inhibited by a number of mammalian 5-HT2 receptor

The release of FMRFamide-related peptides (FaRPs) from nervous tissue and corpus cardiacum/dorsal vessel and their appearance in the haemolymph of Rhodnius prolixus after a blood meal was investigated using immunohistochemistry, RIA and HPLC. Release

Pericardial organs of the crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, were removed, and material from them was extracted and fractionated using two sequential reverse-phase HPLC columns. Fractions were analysed using a radioimmunoassay (RIA) specific for the C-te
