Abstract
In the female mosquito, medial neurosecretory cells restrict synthesis of glycogen from sugar and stimulate triglyceride synthesis. Removal of these cells greatly increases the storage capacity for glycogen at the expense of triglyceride storage.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
