Changes of the tyrosinase activity in ontogenesis of the house fly Musca domestica were shown to be phase-specific and ontogenetic changes of tyrosinase and dihydroxyphenylalanine oxidase activities proved to be coordinated. Ascorbic acid stimulated some ontogenetic stages of the house fly and physiological indices, such as fertility, survival at different stages, and weight of puparia. Also, ascorbic acid modulated the tyrosinase activity.
