Abstract
- Radioactive C(14)-glycine was given to Clonorchis sinensis in Tyrode medium in order to trace the metabolic fate of the labeled carbon. The labeled carbon from glycine enters into every major fraction of Clonorchis sinensis and is highest in the fraction of protein and nucleic acid. Significant amount of C(14)-glycine is incorporated into respiratory carbon dioxide. Relatively high percentage of C(14)-glycine in medium is converted to amino acid fraction and lipid fraction of the worm. In general, glycine is continuously being utilized in the synthesis of proteins and for energy production despite the uptake rate of glycine decreased gradually as incubation proceeds.
