Abstrakt: Uric acid metabolism has been investigated during the pupal and adult stages of Pieris brassicae. Uric acid and its main metabolite, allantoic acid, have been quantified in various organs (fat body, gut, wings) during development, in order to determine synthesis, degradation, and transport phenomena. Both labelling experiments (using 2-14C uric acid, guanine, and guanosine) and enzymatic studies (xanthine dehydrogenase, guanine deaminase, and uricase) were performed.
