Lactic acid, pyruvic acid and lactate/pyruvate ratio in the Anoplocephalid tapeworm Stilesia globipunctata infecting sheep (Ovis aries)
Copyright policy )Lactic acid, pyruvic acid and lactate/pyruvate ratio in the Anoplocephalid tapeworm Stilesia globipunctata infecting sheep (Ovis aries)
Lactic acid content was found to vary among the different proglottid types of the parasite. This higher amount of lactic acid might be considered as the end product of anaerobic metabolism. The pyruvic acid level of the parasitic proglottides remained lower than lactate level. The intermediary carbohydrate metabolites, viz. lactate, pyruvate and the lactate/pyruvate ratio being indicators of high rate metabolism, their levels may notably infer the metabolic status of the parasite and also the interaction between the parasite species Stilesia globipunctata and the sheep host.
