Zeitschrift für vergleichende Physiologie Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The following anions were determined in the blood of the leech: nitrate, phosphate, sulfate, citrate, fumarate, lactate, and succinate. The inorganic anions are of negligible importance in cation binding. The sum of the organic anions and chloride balances approximately the sum of the cations.

The protein concentration amounts to 110 g/l.

Zusammenfassung

Die Untersuchung der ionalen Zusammensetzung des Blutes von Hirudo ergab, daß Nitrat, Phosphat und Sulfat als Anionen mengenmäßig keine Rolle spielen. Dagegen konnte nachgewiesen werden, daß ein großer Teil der Anionen aus Citrat, Fumarat, Lactat und Succinat besteht.

Die Proteinkonzentration im Blut von Hirudo beträgt 110 g/l.
