Abstract Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology was applied to study the glucose metabolism inTribolium confusum (Coleoptera).13C signals of D-(1-13C)glucose eaten by beetles were clearly detected in such metabolites of the glucose metabolism as glycogen, trehalose, triacylglycerol, alanine and proline by13C-NMR. After glucose feeding the31P-NMR spectra ofT. confusum showed the signal intensity increases in arginine-phosphate, sugar-phosphate and uridine diphosphoglucose. The results demonstrated the potential of NMR analysis for the study of glucose metabolism inT. confusum.
