Table III shows the concentration of uric acid in the body tissues of allatec- tomized and sham-operated roaches. It is interesting to observe that in allatec- tomized females, the uric acid concentration remained approximately constant, while • ALLATECTOMIZED O SHAM OPERATED. HOURS AFTER INJECTION FIGURE 1.
