Locust diuretic hormone-stimulated synthesis and excretion of cyclic-AMP: a novel Malpighian tubule bioassay.
Endogenous cyclic-AMP concentrations in Malpighian tubules of locusts increase as a result of diuretic hormone stimulation, and the level of increase is shown to be dependent on basal intracellular levels of cyclic-AMP. Furthermore, the increase in endogenous cyclic-AMP is in such excess as to cause excretion of high levels of cyclic-AMP in the urine.
