Abstract
Malpighian tubules of Triatoma infestans cultivated in vitro in presence of 0.05 mM sodium valproate (VPA) for 1-4 h had their nuclear phenotypes investigated regarding induction of chromatin remodeling. Under present conditions, although a few nuclei demonstrated heterochromatin decondensation, no overall differences resulted in comparison to tests in which live insects are injected with VPA.
