Dichlorvos and acetylcholine increase 32P-labelling of phospholipids in cricket central nerve cords
Abstract:
The susceptibility of central nerve cord phospholipids of Acheta domesticus to stress caused by acetylcholine and the organophosphate insecticide dichlorvos was determined in vitro. Both dichlorvos (10(-5) and 10(-4)M) and acetylcholine (5 X 10(-5)M) stimulated increased labelling of nerve cord phospholipids by 32P. Dichlorvos caused a significant release of radiolabelled material to the medium, while acetylcholine did not.
