title: GLUTATHIONE AS AN INDUCER OF FEEDING IN TICKS.
abstract: Ticks engorged solutions containing reduced glutathione as readily as blood, provided that the tonicity of the solutions was adjusted to that of plasma. Among substances tested this effect was specific for the tripeptide. Glutamic acid inhibited the feeding response.
