Fate of Ingested Aristolochic Acids in Battus archidamas
Urzua_Alejandro.pdf (183.6Kb)Abstract
8attus archidamas larvae reared on Aristolochia chilensis sequester aristolochic acids selectively and independently of
lipophilícíty. A considerable proportion of the ingasted acids can be recovered from the excreta, but the amounts which remain
unaccounted for suggest that metabolic detoxification is the principal mean of disposing of these substances by the insacts.
