Abstract
Three doses of gamma radiation (40, 60, and 80 Gy) were applied to pupae of Culex Pipiens L. An unirradiated control group was treated similarly. Newly emerged non-fed adults were assayed for carbohydrate, lipid, and protein contents in the whole body after three periods of 24,48, and 72 hours post emergence. The carbohydrate content of both sexes decreased significantly at lower doses of radiation. However, at 80 Gy, the males showed significant increase, while females showed significant decrease. Carbohydrates in both sexes were decreased with increasing the time after emergence. However, in females, carbohydrates were increased after 72 hours, at all doses tested, compared to control. The lipid content was reduced significantly with increasing gamma dose in both sexes. This content was also decreased significantly with time at all doses tested and in the controls. Irradiation decreased insignificantly protein content in the male whole body after 48 hours especially at higher doses. The reduction in female protein content at 80 Gy was very highly significant compared to control after 48 hours post emergence. Gamma irradiation with high doses reduced protein content in testes and ovaries. 9 figs.
