伴 隆志 ・永田 親 義 The inhibition of cholinesterase by some of carbamates has attracted the attention of many researchers in relation to the clinical usefulness (1) and insecticidal activity (2, 3) of the compounds. In this paper the author's chief concern is mainly devoted to investigating the rela tionship between the electronic structure of several structurally related carbamate type cholinesteras...

1. The adipokinetic hormone release, which can be induced by anticholinesterases, is reduced by depleting the content of monoamines in the nervous system. 2. The participation of monoamines in the pathway of release of adipokinetic hormone is studied in vivo and in vitro. 3. A possible mechanism for anticholinesterase-induced release of this hormone involving cholinergic and aminergic transmiss...
