Changes in mitochondrial electron transport chain activity during insect metamorphosis.
The midgut of the tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta) is a highly aerobic tissue that is destroyed by programmed cell death during larval-pupal metamorphosis. The death of the epithelium begins after commitment to pupation, and the oxygen consumption of isolated midgut mitochondria decreases soon after commitment. To assess the role of the electron transport chain in this decline in mitochondrial ...
متن کاملControl of oxidative phosphorylation during insect metamorphosis.
The midgut of the tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta) is a highly aerobic tissue that is destroyed and replaced by a pupal epithelium at metamorphosis. To determine how oxidative phosphorylation is altered during the programmed death of the larval cells, top-down control analysis was performed on mitochondria isolated from the midguts of larvae before and after the commitment to pupation. Oxygen c...
متن کاملChanges in neuronal circuits during insect metamorphosis.
During metamorphosis insects undergo dramatic changes in both form and behaviour. Cell birth and death, as well as neurone respecification all contribute to the overall reorganization of the nervous system. Within the visual and chemosensory processing areas of the insect brain large numbers of newly-generated adult neurones are incorporated into the larval nervous system. In the abdominal gang...

متن کاملSome Aspects of Chemical Changes during Insect Metamorphosis
THE complex chemical changes associated with metamorphosis have long been of interest to biochemists, but a detailed study of one type is not yet available, in spite of much attention having been paid to the silkworm. The subject of this study is the sheep blow-fly Lucilia sericata Meigan. This insect is very suitable for an investigation of this kind since the prepupal stage, morphologically s...
