When facing microbes, animals engage in behaviors that lower the impact of the infection. We previously demonstrated that internal sensing of bacterial peptidoglycan reduces Drosophila female oviposition via NF-κB pathway activation in some neurons (Kurz

Neurosecretory cells of the brain are mostly the same in larvae and adults of Drosophila melanogaster and they produce the same neuropeptides and peptide hormones (NPHs), yet their functional roles differ to a large extent between the two stages. Many other peptidergic neurons change both in numbers and function.

Nanomaterials' Multigenerational Effects by Single and Joint Exposure in Non‐mammalian Models
ABSTRACT Nanotoxicology has mainly focused on single‐generation studies, leaving multigenerational toxicity underexplored. Having animal welfare recently gained importance, we aimed to provide the state‐of‐the‐art of knowledge about multigenerational effects in non‐mammalian models in the case of nanomaterials (NM) single and joint exposure to other ...

Octopamine cells are found along second thoracic roots, where they serve as neurosecretory neurons capable of releasing octopamine at two distinct points: one into the hemolymph immediately before it enters the gills; one into the hemolymph immediately after it leaves the gills. The octopamine cells receive a cholinergic synaptic input. We presume that

Octopamine mobilizes lipids from honey bee (Apis mellifera) hypopharyngeal glands
Recent widespread honey bee (Apis mellifera) colony loss is attributed to a variety of stressors, including parasites, pathogens, pesticides and poor nutrition.

Octopamine neuromodulation regulates Gr32a-linked aggression and courtship pathways in Drosophila males. [PDF]
Chemosensory pheromonal information regulates aggression and reproduction in many species, but how pheromonal signals are transduced to reliably produce behavior is not well understood.

The conversion of amines using nonspecific peroxygenases has always presented a challenge. The use of specific protecting groups, combined with the integration of enzymatic catalysis into conventional chemical methods, opens up new possibilities for the direct and enantioselective synthesis of valuable pharmaceuticals in an innovative, cost‐effective ...

General Stress Responses in the Honey Bee
The biological concept of stress originated in mammals, where a “General Adaptation Syndrome” describes a set of common integrated physiological responses to diverse noxious agents.

Octopaminergic agonists for the cockroach neuronal octopamine receptor
The compounds 1-(2,6-diethylphenyl)imidazolidine-2-thione and 2-(2,6-diethylphenyl)imidazolidine showed the almost same activity as octopamine in stimulating adenylate cyclase of cockroach thoracic nervous system among 70 octopamine agonists, suggesting ...

The effect of octopaminergic compounds on the behaviour and transmission of
Background The high transmission potential of species belonging to the monogenean parasite genus Gyrodactylus, coupled with their high fecundity, allows them to rapidly colonise new hosts and to increase in number.
