摘要：

The paragonial gland of D. nigromelanica is characterized by accumulating a large quantity of glutamic acid. Its concentration in the gland of flies 10-11 days after ecdysis amounts to 60-70% of the total free ninhydrin-positive components. The accumulation of glutamic acid is paralleled by a high activity of the enzyme L-alanine aminotransferase [EC 2.6.1.2] in the secretory tissue. The possible role of glutamic acid in the reproductive process is discussed.
