Age-related glycogen changes in bruchids.
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.
