Abstract
1. 1. Metathoracic muscles of Periplaneta americana males denervated immediately after adult ecdysis and examined 16 days later for phosphate and phospholipid metabolism were found to retain some but not all characteristics of the immature muscle. 2. 2. Like in immature muscle the penetration of labelled phosphate into the muscle and the level of specific radioactivity attained by phosphoarginine is higher than in normal muscle. 3. 3. Denervation prevents the increase in the tissue level of most phospholipids normally occurring during maturation. 4. 4. Denervation preserves the higher rate of 32P incorporation characteristic for immature muscle in all phospholipids except diphosphatidylglycerol.
