Fig. 6. Examples of heart bioassay for R. prolixus. The first 5 min of a
recording in saline applied at the open arrow and the second 5 min in peptide
applied at the filled arrow. (A) Rhopr/Dippu-DH31 tested at
10–10 mol l–1; (B)
Rhopr/Dippu-DH31 tested at 10–8 mol
l–1; (C) Rhopr/Dippu-DH31 tested at
10–6 mol l–1. Note the increase in frequency
and amplitude of heartbeat.
