Trehalase (EC. 3.2.1.28) activity has been studied during aging in male and female Callosobruchus analis beetles. Enzyme activity was much higher in females than males throughout adult life. Trehalase showed two peaks of activity in females, a small peak on the 3rd day and another on the 10th day after adult ecdysis, while males showed one peak only on the 10th day after emergence. Besides trehalase activity, trehalose as a percentage of total sugars, and mortality curves have been studied. It was found that the energy needs of the insects also increase as they age.
已对赤拟谷盗雌雄成虫衰老过程中的海藻糖酶（EC. 3.2.1.28）活性进行了研究。在整个成虫期，雌性体内的酶活性远高于雄性。海藻糖酶在雌性体内呈现两个活性峰值，一个小峰值出现在成虫蜕皮后的第3天，另一个出现在第10天，而雄性仅在羽化后的第10天出现一个峰值。除了海藻糖酶活性外，还研究了海藻糖占总糖的百分比以及死亡率曲线。结果发现，昆虫的能量需求也会随着年龄增长而增加。
