The activity of acid phosphatase was determined in the liver, spleen, pronephros and mesonephros, intestine and gills of carp inflicted with SVC and CE. At the same time a total protein was determined as well. It was found a Statistically significant decrease in the activity of acid phosphatase in all organs of carp with the exception of the intestine and gills where the activity increased though statistically insignificantly.
Key enzymes of gluconeogenesis, D-glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-Pase) [EC 3.1.3.9] and D-fructose-1,6-bisphosphate 1-phosphohydrolase (Fru-1,6-Pase) [EC 3.1.3.11], were investigated in Helix pomatia L. and Pomacea bridgesii (Reeve). Fru-1,6-Pase and G-6-Pase activities were determined measuring with malachite green the concentration of inorganic phosphate produced by substrate hydrolysis in homogenates of hepatopancreas, kidney and foot muscle. Determined Fru- , -Pase activities (U/g wt.) in H. pomatia were as follows: hepatopancreas 1.01, kidney 0.19, foot muscle 0.24, in P. bridgesii the respective values were: 0.94, 0.34 and 0.22. Activities of G-6-Pase (U/g wt.) in H. pomatia were: 1.65 in hepatopancreas, 0.64 in kidney and 0.21 in foot muscle, in P. bridgesii the respective values were: 0.79, 0.31, 0.21. Thus the highest gluconeogenic capacity in both species was found in hepatopancreas. Fru-1,6-Pase from H. pomatia and P. bridgesii hepatopancreas was inhibited by AMP. Determined I0.5 were 8.4 M for H. pomatia and 7.3 M for P. bridgesii, and the values were comparable with those of mammalian liver Fru-1,6-Pase. Km determined for hepatopancreas G-6-Pase from H. pomatia and P. bridgesii were 1.3 mM and 4.1 mM, respectively and were also comparable with Km of mammalian liver enzyme.
