Résumé

Dans les glandes séricigènes des mues de la chenille duBombyx mori, les lipides sudanophiles s'accumulent progressivement jusqu'à la 5e mue et s'épuisent complètement pendant la formation du cocon. Une étude systématique des divers systèmes d'enzymes montre que les lipides fournissent par oxydation-réduction l'énergie nécessaire au métabolisme sécrétoire des cellules des glandes pendant les dernières mues.
