Abstract
The subject of this chapter is the use of spectrophotometry and fluorometry to monitor the redox state of respiratory enzymes in intact epithelial tissues, with an emphasis on insect epithelia. These optical methods were used initially in isolated mitochondria and later in a variety of intact tissues in vitro and even in vivo. Their main advantages reside in being rapid and noninvasive, the latter allowing the optical monitoring to be performed in conjunction with other types of measurements normally used to assess epithelial function. Spectrophotometry and fluorometry of intact epithelia have provided novel information not obtainable by other methods.
