Chemical and functional analyses of Rhinella icterica (Spix, 1824) toad secretion screened on contractions of the heart and oviduct in Locusta migratoria
Graphical Abstract created for a scientific article Publisher in Journal of Insect Physiology. The illustration represents the mechanism of action of RIPS/RITS (Rhinella icterica parotoid/toad secretion) on the musculature of insects (Nauphoeta cinerea and Locusta migratoria).
Neurotoxic effects of anatoxin-a(s) on Nauphoeta cinerea cockroaches
Illustration created for a monograph in Biotechnology. The illustration represents the mechanism of action of CECA (cyanobacterial extract containing anatoxin) on the musculature of insects, and its possible modulation of the octopaminergic and dopaminergic pathways, similarly to trichlorfon.
Rhinella icterica (Spix, 1824) toad skin secretion: mechanism of action
Illustration created for a PhD thesis in Biological Sciences. The illustration represents the mechanism of action of RITS (Rhinella icterica toad secretion) on the musculature of insects, and its possible modulation of the octopaminergic and cholinergic pathways.
