Relation between haemolymph proteins and fat body during metamorphosis in Danais chrysippus Linn. II.

Changes in haemolymph protein fractions and histology, of adipose tissue has been observed in the larvae, pupae and newly emerged adults of Danais chrysippus. At time of pupation, proteins get accumulated in the fat body and in turn are utilized in metabolic process occuring during metamorphosis. A clear correlation exists between the adipose tissue and haemolymph proteins. A human-serum-albumine like proteins was not observed in this insect species.
