Abstract

In the female mosquito, removal of medial neurosecretory cells greatly increases the amount of glycogen and greatly diminishes the amount of fat deposited after a single meal of sugar. Implantation of medial neurosecretory cells restricts glycogen synthesis in the operated female to that in the unoperated control but does not restore the interrupted fat synthesis. These experiments indicate that glycogen synthesis is suppressed by a hormone from the medial neurosecretory cells.
