Abstract
With the biogenic amines tryptamine, dopamine, and octopamine as substrates, N-acetyltransferase activity shows no detectable circadian rhythm in homogenates of whole brains of the European corn borerOstrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). The circadian clock of this insect may be fundamentally different from the N-acetyltransferase pacemaker in the pineal gland of vertebrates.
