    Notes: Abstract Use of the enkephalinase inhibitor phosphoramidon in the in vitro radiochemical assay for juvenile hormone biosynthesis enhanced allatostatin-mediated inhibition of hormone production by corpora allata of the cockroach,Diploptera punctata. Significant increases in inhibition in day 2 virgin female CA by AST 1 (at 10−7 M) and AST 4 (10−8–10−7 M) were observed in the presence of phosphoramidon (10−5M or greater). No significant increases in inhibition were seen in CA from day 6 mated females with AST 4 (10−9–10−7M) and phosphoramidon combined. Phosphoramidon alone had no effect on JH biosynthesis. Analysis of allatostatin content of the CA, as determined by ELISA, revealed that addition of phosphoramidon to the medium increased the endogenous allatostatin conten in CA of virgin and mated females. The similarity in primary structure between allatostatins and enkephalin-like peptides and their similar distribution makes it probable that phosphoramidon acts by preventing breakdown of allatostatins within the CA.

    Immunological evidence for an allatostatin-like neuropeptide in the central nervous system of Schistocerca gregaria, Locusta migratoria and Neobellieria bullata (1995)

    Notes: Abstract Methanolic brain extracts of Locusta migratoria inhibit in vitro juvenile hormone biosynthesis in both the locust L. migratoria and the cockroach Diploptera punctata. A polyclonal antibody against allatostatin-5 (AST-5) (dipstatin-2) of this cockroach was used to immunolocalize allatostatin-5-like peptides in the central nervous system of the locusts Schistocerca gregaria and L. migratoria and of the fleshfly Neobellieria bullata. In both locust species, immunoreactivity was found in many cells and axons of the brain-retrocerebral complex, the thoracic and the abdominal ganglia. Strongly immunoreactive cells were stained in the pars lateralis of the brain with axons (NCC II and NCA I) extending to and arborizing in the corpus cardiacum and the corpora allata. Although many neurosecretory cells of the pars intercerebralis project into the corpus cardiacum, only 12 of them were immunoreactive and the nervi corporis cardiaci I (NCC I) and fibers in the nervi corporis allati II (NCA II) connecting the corpora allata to the suboesophageal ganglion remained unstained. S. gregaria and L. migratoria seem to have an allatostatin-like neuropeptide present in axons of the NCC II and the NCA I leading to the corpus cardiacum and the corpora allata. All these data suggest that in locusts allatostatin-like neuropeptides might be involved in controlling the production of juvenile hormone by the corpora allata and, perhaps, some aspects of the functioning of the corpus cardiacum as well. However, when tested in a L. migratoria in-vitro juvenile hormone-biosynthesis assay, allatostatin-5 did not yield an inhibitory or stimulatory effect. There is abundant AST-5 immunoreactivity in cell bodies of the fleshfly N. bullata, but none in the CA-CC complexes. Apparently, factors that are immunologically related to AST-5 do occur in locusts and fleshflies but, the active protion of the peptide required to inhibit JH biosynthesis in locusts is probably different from that of AST-5.

    Notes: Abstract: The spontaneous emission of an excited atom is analyzed by quantum stochastic trajectory approach without both rotating-wave approximation and Markovian approximation. The atom finite size effect is also taken into account. We show by an example that the correction due to the counter-rotating wave term is rather small, even for the largest atomic number of real nuclei.
