Notes
Histochemical procedures were used to demonstrate the presence of glycogen and some glycolytic enzymes in these animals. The enzyme systems found were: phosphorylase, phosphoglucomutase, hexokinase, and glucokinase, aldolase, alpha-glyceraldehyde dehydrogenase, and lactic acid dehydrogenase. The presence of these enzymes, coupled with that of glycogen storage, suggested that glycolysis is operative in these forms.
