Quantitative measurements of glycogen in aging bruchids showed there was a considerable decrease (> 50%) with age except on the fifth day when an increase was observed, followed by a decrease on the sixth day. The variations in glycogen content with age suggests that glycogen serves as one of the energy sources responsible for the maintenance of metabolism in the process of aging in bruchids.
对衰老的豆象中糖原的定量测量表明，除了在第五天观察到糖原增加，随后在第六天减少外，糖原含量会随着年龄的增长而显著下降（超过50%）。糖原含量随年龄的变化表明，糖原是豆象衰老过程中维持新陈代谢的能量来源之一。
