Some quantitative studies of carbohydrate metabolites in cestode parasite of Gallus gallus domesticus

Present investigation includes the quantitative estimation of carbohydrate metabolism i.e., totalglycogen, pyruvate, lactic acid, lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, phosphotases activity in cestodespecies of Gallus gallus domesticus. The carbohydrate metabolism activity were observed in the intestinalparasites Cotugnia digonopora (Pasquale, 1890) were capable of extracting nutrient material from their host andthus represented high level in carbohydrate metabolism. The significance of various amount of pyruvate inanaerobic intestinal parasites and various factors of its role was also discussed.
