  • Title: The activity of some phosphatases in tissues of adult Hymenolepis nana Siebold (Csetoda).
    Author: Humiczewska M.
    Journal: Folia Biol (Krakow); 1989; 37(3-4):171-9. PubMed ID: 2558920.
    Abstract:
    Histochemical methods were used to study the localization and activity of acid and alkaline phosphatases, ATP-ase, 5-nucleotidase, and glucose-6-phosphatase in tissues of the mature form of Hymenolepis nana. Considerable differences in activity and localization of particular enzymes were observed in the organs of the parasite. The results obtained permit the statement that the integument is the most active enzymatically; in connection with the literature data, this gives grounds for the thesis that the integument of the cestodes functions as an absorbent-digestive organ.
