Abstract
Variation in γ-glutamyl transferase activity between developmental stages, body regions, sexes and strains of the housefly were determined. Enzyme activity increases during the early larval stages, decreases in the pupal stage and increases again in the adult housefly. The female has slightly higher γ-glutamyl transferase activity than the male, depending on age, and enzyme activity of body regions was found to decrease in the order: abdomen > head > thorax. No correlation was found between γ-glutamyl transferase activity and the resistance mechanism involving glutathione S- transferase in several susceptible and insecticide-resistant housefly strains.
