Adipokinetic effect of corpora cardiaca extract in Valanga nigricornis (Burm.)
1. The effect of injection of corpora cardiaca (CC) extract on haemolymph lipid concentration of V. nigricornis was studied. 2. The CC extract caused a marked increase in the haemolymph lipid, which attained a peak at about 1 1/2 hr after injection. At longer intervals of up to 4 hr, this response w...

| description | 1. The effect of injection of corpora cardiaca (CC) extract on haemolymph lipid concentration of V. nigricornis was studied. 2. The CC extract caused a marked increase in the haemolymph lipid, which attained a peak at about 1 1/2 hr after injection. At longer intervals of up to 4 hr, this response was markedly diminished. 3. The results were considered in relation to the natural habit of the insect; it is suggested that the adipokinetic effect probably represents an adaptive mechanism to non-flight physiological conditions like starvation. |
