## Abstract Hormonal control of fluid reabsorption in the rectum is a major mechanism of water balance homeostasis in terrestrial insects. We report that steadyβstate fluid transport in the absence of, or against, an osmotic gradient can be driven by absorption of Na^+^, K^+^, or Cl^β^ from the lum
The involvement of second messengers in modulating Schistocerca gregaria rectal ion and fluid transport was investigated using two in vitro bioassay systems: everted rectal sacs and rectal flat sheets. Various agents known to block or activate specific signal transduction pathways were employed in t
