Glycogen storage in normal and wing-mutant strains of Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

Total body weight, total glycogen content and the percentage of body weight attributable to stored glycogen were measured in wild-type and two wing-mutant strains of 0-2-day-old (immature) and 5-7-day-old (mature) Drosophila melanogaster. Wild-type and wing mutant strains did not differ significantly in any of the measured parameters at 0-2 days of age. By 5-7 days of age, significant increases in glycogen...
