Neurosecretory Cells in the Abdominal Ganglia of Larvae of Ludlia caesar (Diptera) By ALASTAIR FRASER
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Ten neurosecretory cells can be found in each of the first 5 abdominal ganglia of the larva of L. caesar L. These are arranged as two lateral pairs and a single ventral cell in each half of a ganglion. Half the lateral cells go through a cycle of secretory activity before pupation in developing larvae. In diapause larvae while half the lateral cells are in a resting phase the remainder are in various stages of secretory activity. The destination of the product is not known. Chemically this product is, unlike that of brain neurosecretory cells, PAS-positive. It may contain a glycoor phospholipid or lipoprotein component.

Neurosecretion in the Brain of the Larva of the Sheep
Six groups of neurosecretory cells were identified in the brain of the mature larva of Lucilia caesar. Five of these groups belonged to the category of medial neurosecretory cells and one to that of lateral neurosecretory cells. The groups differ in position, cell size, staining characteristics, and sequence of activity. It is apparent that only some of the groups are concerned with the process...
متن کاملEntry Number: 1 GL THE ROLE OF INDIRECT HYDROPHOBIC INTERACTIONS IN SUBSTRATE RECOGNITION
In addition to its role in fluid retention and diuresis, leucokinin may be involved with the metamorphic process of ecdysis. Different stages of larvae were immunostained with leucokinin antibodies. Neurosecretory cell pairs immunoreactive for leucokinin were found in abdominal ganglia 1-7 of larvae. Pre-ecdysis stage larvae exhibit significantly more leucokinin neurosecretory cells than ecdysi...
متن کاملDistribution of Ovary Ecdysteroidogenic Hormone I in the nervous system and gut of mosquitoes
Ovary ecdysteroidogenic hormone I (OEH I) is a gonadotropin in the female mosquito, Aedes aegypti. Whole-mount immunocytochemistry using OEH I antisera revealed an extensive distribution of immunostained cells in larvae and adults of this mosquito comparable to that observed in the African malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae. Medial neurosecretory cells were stained in brains of larvae and adul...
متن کاملAllatotropin is a cardioacceleratory peptide in Manduca sexta.
Allatotropin is a neuropeptide that was originally isolated from the sphinx moth Manduca sexta, in which it stimulates the synthesis of juvenile hormone in adults (Kataoka et al. 1989). An antiserum raised against this peptide was characterized, shown to be specific for allatotropin and used in a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to demonstrate that allatotropin is present n...
