In the egg chambers of the wax moth Galleria mellonella L., developing after application of reserpine, a multilayered epithelium was observed through all the developmental stages. This epithelium consisted of "light" cells loaded with intracellular organelles. No "dark" cells, characteristic of the control material, were observed. All cells of the egg chambers of reserpine-treated insects were characterized mostly by an abundance of microtubules, strong vacuolation of cytoplasm, and dilation of intercellular and perinuclear spaces. Moreover, changes, such as malformation of nuclei and nucleoli, appearance of large glycogen deposits, occurrence of widened cisternae and canaliculi of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) connected with lipid droplets, and appearance of nonhomogeneous protein yolk spheres, were noted in the oocyte. The observed disturbances in the ultrastructure of the developing ovary are discussed in the aspect of a direct action of reserpine through the insect neurohormonal system, and of a possible indirect one by an impairment of calcium homeostasis.
在经利血平处理后发育的大蜡螟（Galleria mellonella L.）卵室中，在所有发育阶段均观察到多层上皮。该上皮由充满细胞内细胞器的“浅色”细胞组成。未观察到对照材料特有的“深色”细胞。经利血平处理的昆虫卵室中的所有细胞主要特征为微管丰富、细胞质强烈空泡化以及细胞间和核周间隙扩张。此外，在卵母细胞中还注意到一些变化，如细胞核和核仁畸形、出现大量糖原沉积物、与脂滴相连的粗面内质网（RER）的池和小管变宽以及出现不均匀的蛋白质卵黄球。从利血平通过昆虫神经激素系统的直接作用以及钙稳态受损可能产生的间接作用方面，对发育中卵巢超微结构观察到的紊乱进行了讨论。
