Histochemical localization of α-glycerophosphate, lactate, glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenases inParamphistomum cervi (Trematoda: Paramphistomidae)

Abstract

Histochemical study has been carried out on the localization and distribution of α-glycerophosphate, lactate, glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenases in the digenetic trematode,P. cervi. The intense reaction for these enzymes in oral sucker, subcuticle, genital cup and periphery of both testis and ovary was observed. The activity was particularly more pronounced in the parenchyma surrounding the caecum. These results suggest the existence of both Embden-Meyerhof and pentose-phosphate pathways for carbohydrate metabolism.
