Abstract
The octopamine, dopamine and noradrenaline content of the brain of the locust, Schistocerca gregaria has been determined using sensitive radiochemical-enzymatic assays. Octopamine and dopamine are present in high concentration but the noradrenaline content is only 1/25 that is octopamine. Both reserpine and fusaric acid (a dopamine-beta-hydroxylase inhibitor) produced a significant depletion of the octopamine stores.Entities:
