Abstract
- Injection of glutathione into locusts reduces their mortality to lindane. HPLC with electrochemical detection allowed measurement of glutathione in locust. It was, in mu moles X g-1, 1.73 male 2.01 female fat body, 1.20 in muscle and in haemolymph 0.13 mu moles X ml-1. The role of glutathione in determining the greater sensitivity of gregarious vs solitary locusts to lindane is discussed.
