Absorption of amino acids In vitro by the rectum of the desert locust (Schistocerca gregaria)
Rectal sacs of Schistocerca gregaria Forskal adults are capable of active absorption of those neutral amino acids naturally found in locust hemolymph. This absorption occurs against large electrochemical gradients, is inhibited by KCN, and is enhanced only slightly by solvent flow. Metabolic convers...
