| Abstract: | 1. Apart from octopamine, the same indolamines and catecholamines were detected in the whole nervous system of the cockroach Blaberus craniifer Burm., at the same time.2. However, levels were found to depend on sex, age, and the anatomic region within the nervous system.3. Although not established, it is thought that these substances act synchronously from the ganglia.4. The differences in levels between males and females and between anatomical regions during imaginal life suggest, in this species of cockroach, the physiological importance of the metameric organization in metabolic pathways or functional aspects of biogenic amines. |
