“…They found that the succinoxidase activity of muscle from the male cockroach is three times that of muscle from the female. Spirtes (1951) demonstrated the presence of Krebs cycle enzymes such as aconitase, isocitric, malic and succinic dehydrogenases, fumarase and condensing enzyme, and also cytochrome oxidase and lactic dehydrogenase in the tissues of Drosophila melanogaster ; and Bodenstein and Sacktor (1952) studied the cytochrome oxidase during metamorphosis of Drosophila virilis; Sacktor (1951aSacktor ( , 1951bSacktor ( , 1952 reported on the cytochrome oxidase activity of normal and DDT resistant house flies, Musca domestica; Sanborn and Williams (1950) studied the cytochrome system in the tissues of the Cecropia silkworm; Watanabe and Williams (1951) showed that succinic, a-glycerophosphate, malic and pyruvic dehydrogenases and cytochrome oxidase are present in the sarcosomes of insect muscles ; and Collias, McShan and Lilly (1952) reported results of studies on the succinoxidase and cytochrome oxidase systems in the tissues of the large milkweed bug, Oncopeltus jasdatus. Bodine, Lu and West (1952) found marked differences in the succinoxidase activity in mitotically active and blocked cells of the developing embryo of the grasshopper, Mclanoplus differential's.…”
