Age-related analysis of adenosine triphosphatase activity as affected by propyl gallate in the drosophilid, Zaprionus paravittiger

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. 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.
