Abstract
1. Endogenous oxygen consumption of thoracic muscles of Leucophaea maderae was no higher in males than in females, but there was a significant increase in this parameter in allatectomized animals of both sexes. 2. Preliminary tracer phosphorus studies were made in vivo and the relative specific activities of the muscle fractions are shown.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
