Summary

Enzymes involved in glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle and pentose shunt were determined in the lancet fluke, Dicrocoelium dendriticum. The results have been compared with those obtained in host liver (bovine) and in the liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica. Enzyme activities of Dicrocoelium dendriticum show a greater similarity to those of host liver. It is assumed that fermentation of glucose—in contrary to Fasciola hepatica—is mainly leading to lactate.

Zusammenfassung

Im Lanzettegel, Dicrocoelium dendriticum, wurden Enzyme des Glucoseabbaues, des Pentose-Phosphatcyclus und des Citratcyclus bestimmt und mit denen der Wirtsleber (Rind) und des Leberegels, Fasciola hepatica, verglichen. Die gemessenen Enzymaktivitäten bei Dicrocoelium dendriticum gleichen mehr denen der Wirtsleber. Es zeigt sich, daß bei Dicrocoelium dendriticum der Glucoseabbau im Gegensatz zu Fasciola hepatica bis zum Lactat wahrscheinlich ist.
