...Geoffrey M. Coast SUMMARY The mechanism of primary urine production and the activity of a diuretic kinin, Achdo-KII, were investigated in Malpighian tubules of Acheta domesticus by measuring intracellular Na + , K + and Cl − activities, basolateral membrane voltage ( V b ), fluid secretion...

...Douglas S. G. Neufeld; Ross Kauffman; Zachary Kurtz SUMMARY We demonstrate the presence of an efficient, multispecific transport system for excretion of organic anions in the Malpighian tubules of the cricket Acheta domesticus using fluorescein (FL) as a model substrate. Malpighian tubules rapidly...

... postfeeding Manduca sexta larvae. However, Manduca-DH was reported to have no effect on Malpighian tubules in vitro . Manduca-DH and [Nle 2,11 ]- M anduca-DH were synthesized in Texas and assayed in London on isolated Malpighian tubules of Acheta domesticus. Man-duca-DH stimulated fluid secretion by about 60...
