Octopamine (OA) (10(-7)-10(-5) M) relaxed isolated foreguts. Tyramine mimicked the effects of OA but was 64x less potent. 2. Proctolin (10(-8) M to 10(-6) M) induced contraction of isolated foreguts was antagonised non competitively by tyramine. 3. Mianserin (10(-6) M) was a non competitive antagonist of relaxation caused by tyramine but was without effect on proctolin induced contraction. 4. Caffeine (1 microM and 2 microM) caused non competitive inhibition of proctolin-induced tissue contraction. 5. It is concluded that tyramine antagonises proctolin-induced contraction of the foregut by activating an adenylate cyclase-linked OA2 receptor.
