One population of Liposcelis bostrychophila Badonnel (CA selected) was exposed to a controlled atmosphere(CA) (35% CO2 + 1%O2, balance N2) for 30 generations. Another population (control) was reared under natural atmospheric conditions. Reserves of triacylglycerol, polysaccharides and free amino acids were evaluated in adults of the CA selected and the control populations in generations F15 and F30. The utilization rate of triacylglycerol and polysaccharides in the CA exposure were also determined in generation F30. The results indicate that the reserves of triacylglycerol and polysaccharides increased significantly during selection for CA tolerance; the higher the tolerance level, the greater the reserves. A total of 15 free amino acids constituents were detected in both populations. The total amino acid content in the CA selected population was obviously higher than that in the control population. Exposure of this population to a controlled atmosphere was associated with a steady utilization of reserves. In contrast, the unselected population responded to the controlled atmosphere by accelerated utilization of triacylglycerol and polysachharides. Comparison of utilization rates during CA exposure showed that triacylglycerol is the main energy source, and polysaccharides contribute only a small extent to the metabolic energy supply.%报道了嗜卷书虱对高二氧化碳、低氧气调抗性形成过程中能源物质的积累以及抗性形成后在气调胁迫下能源物质的利用情况。结果表明随着抗性水平的提高，嗜卷书虱体内甘油三酯、多糖以及游离氨基酸含量均显著升高。在气调胁迫环境下，嗜卷书虱抗性品系能源物质的消耗率明显低于敏感品系。甘油三酯的积累以及在气调肋迫下缓慢消耗可能是其抗气调性的主要内在机理之一。
