Antioxidant levels in the haemolymph and fat bodies were studied in the diapausing pupae of tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta Drury exposed to high temperature (37° C) for a period of 15 days and compared with that of control (kept at 25°±3°C). Protein, ascorbic acid and glutathione content in the fat body and haemolymph tissues were found to increase due to high temperature. Reduction in lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde =MDA content) in the fat body tissue showed a protective mechanism to limit the tissue oxidation. The results suggest that, high temperature induces antioxidant status of the pupae of tasar silkworm A. mylitta Drury.
