DETERMINATION OF TOTAL CONCENTRATION OF PROTEINS AND CARBOHYDRATES IN TAPEWORM POSTGANGESIA ARMATA AND INTESTINES OF INFECTED AND NON-INFECTED FISH HOST SILURUS GLANIS
Journal Title: WORLD JOURNAL PHARMACY AND PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCE - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
The study investigated the concentration of some biochemical parameters in the tissues of the Postgangesia armata and intestine of their final host (Fish) Silurus glanis. The study showed significant increases(P0.05) in protein, carbohydrate concentrations in intestine of non-infected fish compared with infected one, while The concentration of proteins and carbohydrates in tapeworm tissues were (9.26 ± 0.05) and (5.96 ± 0.01) mg / g of wet weight respectively and these were less than those in infected host (15.13 ± 0.08, 11.75 ± 0.05) mg / g of wet weight. Electrophoresis technique(SDS-PAGE) showed two different proteins, the first is approximately 37,000 Dalton, and the second is 52,000 Dalton.
