Cardioactive or inactive neuropeptides of insects
Original language description
The results of recent investigations show that the systolic contractions of the insect heart, similarly to those of the human heart, are based on a purely myogenic principle. A number of compounds have been previously tested for cardiostimulating or inhibitory effects, using simple in vitro bioassays on insect hearts explanted into saline. Some three decades ago, when the regulation of the insect heart was expected to be neurogenic, the possibility of cardiostimulating action attracted the attention ofworkers searching for the possible biological roles of newly isolated and synthesized neuropeptides. The first reports on the positive cardiostimulating effect of insect neuropeptides involved proctolin and its synthetic derivatives. These peptides increased the rate of heart beat of hearts explanted into saline in the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) or in the mealworm (Tenebrio molitor). These in vitro effects were not specific to the peptides; they were also nonspecifically
