  • Title: Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma japonicum: comparison of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activities in adults.
    Author: Smith TM, Brown JN.
    Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol B; 1977; 56(3):351-2. PubMed ID: 318249.
    Abstract:
    Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in paired adult Schistosoma mansoni is about twice as great as in paired adult Schistosoma japonicum. 2. 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activity accounts for 25.8% of the measured production of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) in S. japonicum but only 8.6% of the measured production of NADPH in S. mansoni. 3. These data suggest a species difference in 6-phosphogluconate metabolism.
