Basal levels of cAMP in salivary glands of female lone star ticks were found to be about 5 pmoles/mg protein during all stages of feeding. Glands stimulated with 10(-5)M dopamine and 10(-5)M dopamine plus theophylline exhibited significant increases in cAMP/mg protein. After stimulation by 10(-5)M dopamine was removed, cAMP decreased faster in glands from slowly feeding ticks (less than 200 mg) than in glands of rapidly feeding ticks (greater than 200 mg).
在孤星蜱雌蜱唾液腺中,发现进食各阶段cAMP的基础水平约为5皮摩尔/毫克蛋白质。用10⁻⁵M多巴胺以及10⁻⁵M多巴胺加茶碱刺激腺体后,每毫克蛋白质中的cAMP显著增加。在去除10⁻⁵M多巴胺刺激后,进食缓慢的蜱(体重小于200毫克)唾液腺中cAMP的下降速度比进食快速的蜱(体重大于200毫克)唾液腺中的更快。
