Hemolymph carbohydrate and lipid mobilization in Locusta migratoria in relation to the progress of poisoning following bioresmethrin treatment
Effects of bioresmethrin, a pyrethroid insecticide, on the mobilization of metabolic reserves in the hemolymph of Locusta migratoria were studied. Bioresmethrin treatment of intact locusts caused depletion of hemolymph carbohydrate (hypoglycemia) and elevation in blood lipid (hyperlipemia). The mobi...

Zusammenfassung: | Effects of bioresmethrin, a pyrethroid insecticide, on the mobilization of metabolic reserves in the hemolymph of
Locusta migratoria were studied. Bioresmethrin treatment of intact locusts caused depletion of hemolymph carbohydrate (hypoglycemia) and elevation in blood lipid (hyperlipemia). The mobilization of these metabolic reserves was found to be closely related to the poisoning syndrome of this insecticide. Bioresmethrin-induced hyperlipemia was not detected in neck-ligated locusts, whereas hypoglycemia was still observed. The results of this study suggest that bioresmethrin-induced elevation in hemolymph lipid is due to the release of hyperlipemic hormone(s). The depletion of hemolymph carbohydrate, on the other hand, may be due to their increased utilization in response to the hyperactivity caused by the insecticide treatment. |
