摘要
Manduca sexta allatotropin (Manse-AT), a peptide originally isolated on the basis of its ability to stimulate juvenile hormone (JH) biosynthesis in the tobacco hornworm, is a potent in vitro stimulator of the corpora allata (CA) in Pseudaletia unipuncta (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). At 10(-6)M, Manse-AT stimulated in vitro rates of JH biosynthesis by CA of day 0 and 6 adult females 15- and 10-fold respectively. Both Manse-AT and serotonin were also shown to be dose-dependent stimulators of heart rate in day 0, 3 and 6 adult males and females. Furthermore, analysis suggests that there are differences in both resting and Manse-AT-stimulated heart rates depending on age and rearing conditions. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc.
