摘要: The flight of an insect involves very rapid oxidation respiratory fuels by the muscle (see reviews Sacktor 1965, 1970 and Chapter 1). High, overall levels metabolism working have been calculated (Weis-Fogh, 1952) is known to be accompanied a substantial increase in oxygen uptake (Davis Fraenkel, 1940; Krogh Weis-Fogh, 1951). Clearly order maintain high rates respiration, muscles must well supplied with both appropriate fuels. respiration that occurs at onset flight, decrease rate end necessitates existence systems control supply substrates for respiration. previous article has discussed such processes. This review concerned supply.
