Relation between haemolymph proteins and fat body during metamorphosis in Sarcophaga lineatocollis
Abstract:
Histological changes in the fat body and in the qualitative haemolymph protein picture has been observed during metamorphosis in Sarcophagalineatocollis. A clear correlation exists in the synthesizing machinary i.e., adipose tissue and the haemolymph proteins. Proteins get accumulated in the fat body at the time of pupation to be made available for further metabolic processes occuring during the metamorphosis. A protein fraction identical to human serum albumin like protein could not be observed in this insect species.
