摘要
多巴胺是动物神经系统的一种重要的儿茶酚胺神经递质,也是一种激素。多巴胺的分布及含量变化对蜜蜂的生长、取食、代谢等多种生理、生物效应具有重要影响。开展多巴胺与蜜蜂行为发育关系的研究,尤其是分子生物学方面的研究,对进一步揭示多巴胺的生理功能具有重要意义。本文就近年来的相关研究及进展作一综述。
Dopamine is an important catecholamine neurotransmitter in vertebrate and invertebrate nervous systems and also a kind of hormone. It has been suggested that distribution and level of dopamine has various significant effects on physiological processes including growth, feeding and reproduction of honeybees. Further researches on the relationship between honeybees dopamine and behavior,especially at the molecular level, will play an important role in revealing the biological and biochemical functions of dopamine. This review described recent progresses in this field.
