Total 14C incorporation and metabolite distribution in D-1 and D-5 mosquitoes. A. Total consumed radioactivity within the first 24 h of [14C]-glucose feeding in D-1 and D-5 nondiapausing and adult diapause-destined Cx. pipiens. B. Total 14C-labeling of glycogen, lipid, protein, and amino acids pools within the first 24 h of [14C]-glucose feeding in D-1 and D-5 nondiapausing and diapause-destined Cx. pipiens. Data are presented as mean ± SEM of disintegrations per minute (DPM) per mosquito from three independent experiments. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparison test was used for statistical comparison between nondiapause and diapause-destined mosquitoes. No two-way comparisons were found to be statistically significant at the level of p≤0.05.
