Investigation of an ion transport peptide in desert locust ventral ganglia

Previous observations have localised an antidiuretic peptide factor to the ventral ganglia (VG) of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria. Homogenates of VG increase active ion transport and fluid reabsorption across locust ilea in vitro. There is evidence to suggest that the VG peptide employs...
