Quantification of cockroach allatostatin‐like peptide and its myotropic effects in males of the earwig Euborellia annulipes

A monoclonal antibody to allatostatin I of the cockroach Diploptera punctata was used to establish a competitive enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay for quantification of allatostatin‐like peptides in the hindgut of the adult male earwig, Euborellia annulipes. Hindguts of 0‐day males contained significantly more allatostatin‐positive material than those of 8‐day males fed on catfood. However, males starved for the first 8 days of adult life had significantly higher levels of allatostatin‐positive material than those of either 0‐day or of 8‐day fed males.
