Effect of ventral nerve cord transection on metabolic parameters in the nervous system of the cockroach, Periplaneta americana L. 1982

K Subhashini, and K Yellamma, and P M Mohan, and K S Babu

Periplaneta americana were subjected to unilateral transection of the ventral nerve cord, and the levels of soluble and total proteins and total carbohydrates were determined 30 days postoperatively. Total proteins showed a decrease while soluble proteins and total carbohydrates showed an elevation. These changes were correlated with the generation of giant fibers in the ventral nerve cord.
