Notes:
Summary Octopamine enhanced the release of JH3 from isolated corpora allata of locusts in short-term cultures. This effect was suppressed when phentolamine (inhibitor of the octopamine receptors) was added to the culture medium. Moreover an octopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase was found in the corpora allata. The results suggest a positive octopaminergic control on the activity of the corpora allata.
