Tissues of Glossina morsitans were assayed for octopamine using an enzymatic technique. Octopamine was detected at the highest concentration in the brain (7.06-7.99 ng mg-1 tissue protein) and thoracic ganglion (10.9-13.89 ng mg-1 tissue protein). Octopamine was present in haemolymph at a concentration of 1.0-1.27 X 10(-7) M. This was not found to vary when insects were flown or mechanically stressed. Nervous tissue, flight muscle and haemolymph showed a significant ability to metabolize octopamine. The greatest enzyme activity was present in the haemolymph.
采用酶促技术检测了采采蝇(Glossina morsitans)组织中的章鱼胺。在脑中检测到的章鱼胺浓度最高(7.06 - 7.99 ng mg⁻¹组织蛋白),胸神经节中也较高(10.9 - 13.89 ng mg⁻¹组织蛋白)。血淋巴中章鱼胺的浓度为1.0 - 1.27×10⁻⁷ M。未发现昆虫飞行或受到机械应激时该浓度有变化。神经组织、飞行肌和血淋巴均显示出显著的代谢章鱼胺的能力。血淋巴中的酶活性最高。
