The black swallowtail butterfly larvae, Papilio polyxenes, are specialist feeders that have adapted to feeding on plants containing high levels of prooxidant allelochemicals. Third, fourth, and fifth instar larvae were tested for their antioxidant enzyme activities, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catal
The possible significance of food composition connected with the x-glycerophosphate (zGP) shuttle, a putative metabolic pathway of energy dissipation, was investigated at the level of enzyme activities. Liver, adipose tissue, slow-twitch and fast-twitch muscle of weaned male Wistar rats fed ad libit
