Abstract
A study has been made on the effects of frontal ganglion removal and starvation on the activities and distribution of α- and β-glucosidase, α- and β-galactosidase, trehalase, and ‘trypsin’ in various regions of the alimentary canal of adult locusts. Both treatments resulted in a reduction in the amount of enzyme activity. In addition, the distribution of enzyme activity was changed by comparison with the operated control insects; the foregut of starved and operated animals showing a smaller proportion of the overall gut enzyme activity. The results are discussed in relation to the control of enzyme secretion.
