摘要：

The highest capacity for flight was demonstrated in males reared in long day conditions. During flight there is a significant decrease in proline content and to a lesser extent in glutamate. At the same time alanine accumulates, but its accumulation does not show stoichiometry with the decline in proline and glutamate during the first minutes of flight. This failure in stoichiometry suggests that glutamate dehydrogenase plays an important role in the early phases of flight. © 1979.
