Summary Variations in the quantities of free amino acids and sugars within, and in the nitrogen compounds leaked by, daughter sporocysts Microphallus pygmaeus during starvation in vitro, confirm earlier work on the changes in metabolic rate and respiratory quotient, which suggests that mainly stored carbohydrate is used as a source of energy during the first period of starvation. Mainly lipids, but possibly some tissue proteins are utilised in the second period of starvation and mainly tissue proteins during the final period.
