Dietary-induced modification of calcium transport in mitochondria isolated from flight-muscle of developing sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina

The activity of mitochondrial calcium transport in flight-muscle of the sheep blowfly $\text{Lucilia cuprina}$ is shown to depend on the nature of the diet upon which the adult fly is maintained. The finding raises the possibility that calcium transport in mitochondria from other tissues and species also might be influenced by the dietary intake.
