title: Cyclic AMP during development and ageing of the insect Ceratitis capitata.
abstract: Cyclic AMP was determined during the development of the diptera Ceratitis capitata. The concentration of the nucleotide reaches a peak at apolysis with a sharp decline in the pharate adult stage. A gradual increase takes place through the longevity of adult stage reaching a maximum plateau at the end of life.
