Octopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine enhance the phagocytic and nodule formation activities of cockroach ( Periplaneta americana) haemocytes

The effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine, octopamine and dopamine on the phagocytic and nodule formation activities of cockroach haemocytes have been investigated. Octopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) increase phagocytosis in vitro with a maximal effect at 10 −6 and 10 −8 M, respectively. Dopamine al...
