Influence of flight activity and octopamine on hemolymph trehalose titers in Heliothis zea (Boddie) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Hemolymph trehalose concentrations of male and female Heliothis zea were quantitated by high performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) at various ages and times of the day and related to flight activity. Effects of octopamine injection or stress on trehalose levels were also quantified. Flight...
