We report on secretion of phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2 ) by in vitro preparations of midguts isolated from tobacco hornworms, Manduca sexta. This enzyme is responsible for hydrolysis of fatty acids from the sn-2 position of phospholipids, a necessary step in fatty acid absorption. The in vitro midgut pr

## Abstract Enzyme activities and mitochondrial substrate oxidation were measured in the posterior midguts of tobacco hornworms at different larval stages. A comparison of third, fourth, and fifth instars demonstrated no differences in citrate synthase activity (per gram of midgut), indicating that
