alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase activity in flight muscles of triatomine bugs Panstrongylus megistus and Triatoma sordida.

R P Soares1, M M Santoro.   

Abstract

The alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPDH) activity in flight muscles of Panstrongylus megistus and Triatoma sordida, vectors of Chagas disease in Brazil, was studied. Both species showed higher enzymatic activities in fliers than in non-fliers insects. T. sordida exhibited a higher proportion of flier insects than P. megistus. A possible role of alpha-GPDH on triatomines flight is discussed.
