Leucomyosuppressin modulates cardiac rhythm in the cockroach Blattella germanica
Journal of Insect Physiology, 2011 Several lines of evidence point to leucomyosuppressin (LMS) and myosuppressin-related peptides as inhibitory modulators of heartbeat frequency in arthropods. Previous studies in Blattella germanica demonstrated that heartbeat frequency decreases after ootheca formation, and remains low during the period of ootheca transport.
