Abstract
Changes in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism during embryonic development
in Antheraea mylitta were studied. While carbohydrates were metabolized
during early embryogenesis, lipids were catabolised at the later stages. A significant
increase in both total carbohydrates and glycogen on days 5 and 6 suggested the
concurrent occurrence of both gluconeogenesis and glycogenesis. As the development
of the embryo proceeds, both lipids and carbohydrates were utilised,
resulting in the increase in the concentration of citrate, pyruvate and lactate.
