An increase in glutathione occurred through the larval, pupal and adult stages. The female had approximately 1.5 times the amount of glutathione per individual as did the male due to the larger size of the female. High glutathione levels were found in the Rutgers and the Cornell-R strains, and lower but approximately equal amounts in DDT-Orlando, 49r2, Fc and the CSMA strains. These differences were small when compared to the greater differences in the levels of glutathione transferase activity. The glutathione content in various strains of adult housefly was found to be higher than that previously reported in houseflies, other insects, ticks and certain mammalian tissues.}, number={4}, journal={INSECT BIOCHEMISTRY}, author={SALEH, MA and MOTOYAMA, N and DAUTERMAN, WC}, year={1978}, pages={311–316} }
