Glycolysis in bloodstream T. brucei is the sole source of energy and remains a favourable chemotherapeutic target. In furtherance of this, an attempt has been made to understand better the contribution of glucose, fructose, mannose and glycerol to th

The pathway of NADH oxidation in the procyclic Trypanosoma brucei brucei was investigated in a crude mitochondrial membrane fraction and in whole cells permeabilized with digitonin. NADH:cytochrome c reductase activity was 75% inhibited by concentrat

Resting metabolic rates have been measured and compared with hepatic mitochondrial respiration in Kwashiorkor and diet-induced obese weaned rats. In Kwashiorkor, resting metabolic rate was 21% lower than the value of controls, while that of the obese

The effect of various metabolic inhibitors on the rate of oxygen consumption by procyclic culture forms of Trypanosoma congolense utilizing proline as substrate was investigated. Cyanide inhibited the rate of oxygen consumption by 81.0 +/- 6.7%, malo

1. Anaerobic glycolysis in intact bloodstream Trypanosoma brucei brucei was studied. 2. Fructose, glucose and mammose were aerobically catabolized at rates of 3.4, 3.0 and 2.5 and anaerobically at rates of 0.38, 2.75 and 2.35 mumol hexose/hr/10(8) tr

1. 1. Digitonin has been used to permeabilize bloodstream trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma brucei. Such permeabilized parasites revealed a fully-functional glycolytic pathway which catabolized glucose and some phosphorylated glycolytic intermediates. 2

1. 1. The production of pyruvate, glycerol and glycerol-3-phosphate by intact and digitonin-permeabilized Trypanosoma brucei brucei has been studied with glucose or the glycolytic intermediates as substrates. 2. 2. Under aerobic conditions hexosephos
