In Situ Hybridization Chain Reaction and Immunohistochemical Labeling of the Octopamine Production Pathway in the Central Nervous System of Lymnaea stagnalis. [PDF]
J Comp NeurolOctopaminergic neurons in the central nervous system of Lymnaea stagnalis were mapped using three complementary markers: mRNA, enzyme, and neurotransmitter. While substantial overlap was observed, discrepancies revealed neuroanatomical complexities, reinforcing the value of combining HCR and IHC for a more robust interpretation of neurotransmitter ...

High-throughput single-fly LC-MS/MS for quantitative profiling of biogenic amines in Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONEWe present an LC-MS/MS method that enables reproducible, quantitative detection of multiple biogenic amines-including octopamine, dopamine, serotonin, and their precursors-from single Drosophila individuals.

Octopamine modulates insect mating and Oviposition
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2022 The neuro-mechanisms that regulate insect reproduction are not fully understood. Biogenic amines, including octopamine, are neuromodulators that have been shown to modulate insect reproduction in various ways, e.g., promote or inhibit insect mating or oviposition.

Octopamine Drives Endurance Exercise Adaptations in Drosophila
Cell Reports, 2017 Summary: Endurance exercise is an effective therapeutic intervention with substantial pro-healthspan effects. Male Drosophila respond to a ramped daily program of exercise by inducing conserved physiological responses similar to those seen in mice and ...

Octopamine signaling from clock neurons plays dual roles in Drosophila long-term memory. [PDF]
PLoS GeneticsCircadian clock genes are best known for regulating circadian rhythms, but they also play crucial roles in memory processes. This suggests that memory is modulated by neural networks containing clock neurons, although the underlying mechanisms remain ...

Octopamine modulates the innate immune response in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyBackgroundOctopamine, the functional equivalent of noradrenaline in invertebrates, is a key neuromodulator that also influences immune functions. However, the receptor‑specific roles of octopamine in regulating innate immunity in Drosophila melanogaster ...

The GABAA receptor RDL modulates the auditory sensitivity of malaria mosquitoes [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Malaria mosquitoes acoustically detect mating partners through their flight tones in noisy swarms. Here, we study the auditory role of GABA, one of the main efferent signaling molecules in the mosquito ear, and its interactions with octopamine ...

The Simultaneous Effect of Endurance Training and Octopamine Supplementation on Octopamine and its Receptors in the Visceral Fat Tissue of Rats Treated with Deep Fried Oil (DFO) [PDF]
Journal of Fasting and Health, 2022 Introduction: The role of exercise and some supplements in lipolysis has been reported, but given limited information on the simultaneous effect of endurance training (ET) and octopamine (Oct), the present study aimed to investigate the interactive ...

Neuromodulation of olfactory sensitivity in the peripheral olfactory organs of the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Olfactory sensitivity exhibits daily fluctuations. Several studies have suggested that the olfactory system in insects is modulated by both biogenic amines and neuropeptides. However, molecular and neural mechanisms underlying olfactory modulation in the

Age-Dependent Honey Bee Appetite Regulation Is Mediated by Trehalose and Octopamine Baseline Levels
Insects, 2021 There are multiple feedback mechanisms involved in appetite regulation, which is an integral part of maintaining energetic homeostasis. Older forager honey bees, in comparison to newly emerged bees and nurse bees, are known to have highly fluctuating ...
