Abstract
Administration of a physiological dose of the antifeedant azadirachtin A into female Locusta migratoria by injection does not lead to starvation though food consumption is reduced. Turnover of L-[ 35S]cysteine labelled neurosecretory material is poor in the corpus cardiacum of these insects. However, as shown by electrophoresis and autoradiography, azadirachtin treatment does not lead to a qualitative change in the [ 35S]-labelled neurosecretory proteins of the corpus cardiacum. The influence on release of neurohormones from the corpus cardiacum is discussed as being responsible for the disturbance of endocrine events by the drug.
