Rhodnius prolixus Malpighian tubules and control of diuresis by neurohormones
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2007 Rhodnius prolixus Malpighian tubules (MTs) are a good model for fluid and ion secretion studies in view of the dramatic postprandial diuresis, which follows its massive blood meals. Ingestion of a blood meal equals to 10-12 times their initial body mass,
