1. 1. The activities of the enzymes of the glyoxylate cycle and of the β-oxidation pathway were compared in the dauer larva and the adult stages of C. elegans. 2. 2. The relative rates of NADP isocitrate dehydrogenase (TCA cycle) and isocitrate lyase (glyoxylate cycle) in adult and dauer larvae indicate the increased importance of the glyoxylate cycle in dauer larvae. 3. 3. High levels of the β-oxidation enzymes acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, enoyl-CoA hydratase and acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase were observed in both adult and dauer fractions, the relative levels of activity being lower in the dauers. 4. 4. These data demonstrate the importance of lipid stores as an energy reserve for the non-feeding dauer larva. |
