Serotonin level was measured in the cerebral, suboesophageal, thoracic and abdominal ganglia of Locusta migratoria during larval-adult transformation. It has been established that the serotonin content shows a progressive increase in the period between the last larval stage and the first 7 days of adult life, being of the highest value in the abdominal ganglia (146%), followed by the thoracic (110%), and then by the cerebral and suboesophageal (75%) ganglia. No significant changes are manifested in the serotonin level in the course of moulting. Considerable increase is also detectable in the protein content of the ganglia during the studied development phase. No correlation is present between the protein and serotonin contents of the ganglia, the changes of the protein content was found to be faster as compared to that of serotonin.
在飞蝗幼虫向成虫转变过程中，测定了其脑、咽下神经节、胸神经节和腹神经节中的血清素水平。现已确定，血清素含量在最后一个幼虫阶段到成虫生活的前7天期间呈逐渐增加趋势，在腹神经节中含量最高（增加了146%），其次是胸神经节（增加了110%），然后是脑和咽下神经节（增加了75%）。在蜕皮过程中，血清素水平未表现出明显变化。在研究的发育阶段，神经节中的蛋白质含量也有显著增加。神经节中蛋白质和血清素含量之间没有相关性，发现蛋白质含量的变化比血清素的变化更快。
