Abstract

1. 1. Manometric studies of the oxygen consumption of the liver homogenate of the scorpion with glucose, fructose, mannose, sucrose, pyruvate, malate and succinate as substrates and the inhibitory effects of iodoacetic acid, sodium fluoride and sodium malonate on oxygen consumption indicated the presence of the glycolytic pathway and the Krebs cycle in the liver. 2. 2. Spectrophotometric studies of the supernatant fraction of the liver homogenate showed that the activity of the enzyme, malic dehydrogenase, is low in the liver.
