Caracterização do perfil eletroforético de isoenzimas do metabolismo intermediário de triatomíneos (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) com algumas considerações sobre sua ecologia alimentar
In this work isoenzymes electrophoretic spots of oxidoredutases, transferases and hydrolases, and general proteins, in the haemolymph of Triatominae bugs: belonging to the genera Triatoma, Panstrongylus and Rhodnius were analysed. Enzimatic activity of ODH, ADH, MDH, GAL . DH, SOR. DH, AcPh, AiPh, IPO, LAP, alfa and beta EST in these bugs were observed. The results s how that there is usually monomorphism in the oxidoredutases and transferases systems. But in hydrolases' class 3. 1, polymorphism in R. prolixus for one locus wich allels we called R (quickly), M (rniddle) and L (sowly) were detected. There are 6 possible different phenotypes as a consequence of various arrangements with 3 alleles. The sexual dimorphism and age do not alter the electrophoretic pattern. Alimentation in different hosts does not produce qualitative variations in the electrophoretic patterns of the isoenzymatic systems analized.
