Chloride-stimulated K+ secretion by Manduca sexta midgut (5th-instar larvae) was measured as K(+)-carried short-circuit current of the tissue mounted in an Ussing chamber. "Microscopic" parameters, such as single-channel current and channel density for the rate-determining passive transport step acr

## 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
During the last larval instar of Manduca sexta (tobacco hornworm), the insect enters the wandering phase, in which the animal ceases feeding and the structural reorganization of the midgut begins. Midgut metabolism and ion transport in midguts of feeding and wandering (day 5) fifth-instar tobacco ho
Carbonic anhydrase (CAI activity was assayed by a histochemical method in mounted cryostat sections of larval midgut of Munducu sextu (Insecta: Sphingidae). In anterior and middle midgut most CA activity was associated with apical microvilli of goblet cells; with occasional patchy staining of the co
