Abstract

The specific activity of ATPase in whole body and mitochondrial homogenates declined significantly with age and on propyl gallate (25 μg/ml standard medium) feeding in both the sexes of Zaprionus paravittiger reared at 26 ± 2°C. Maximum activity was observed during the reproductive period.

Résumé

L'activité spécifique de ATPase en entier consistance et mitochondrial homogenates diminuere significativement aux âge et sur repasant propyl gallate (25 μg/ml médium etendard) en deux les sexes de Zaprionus paravittiger arriére à température 26 ± 2°C. L'activité maximum observé pendant les période reproduction.
