1. Rhythmic variations in the isocitrate dehydrogenase activity in the scorpin, Heterometrus fulvipes (C. Koch).

Author

Subjects
Animals, Liver enzymology, Muscles enzymology, Pancreas enzymology, Circadian Rhythm, Isocitrate Dehydrogenase metabolism, Scorpions physiology
Abstract

The activity of isocitrate dehydrogenase was assayed in the pedipalpal muscle and hepatopancreas of scorpion, Heterometrus fulvipes. The enzyme activity showed a circadian rhythmicity with a peak value at 20.00 h in both the tissues.

2. Nature and the time course of the effect of CO2 on electroretinogram (ERG) in an arachnid.

Author

Ramakrishna T

Subjects
Animals, Electroretinography, Eye drug effects, Microelectrodes, Carbon Dioxide pharmacology, Ocular Physiological Phenomena, Scorpions physiology
Abstract

Electroretinogram recorded from the median eye of the scorpion, Heterometrus fulvipes before and after exposure to CO2 indicated that the rate of recovery of 'b' wave to pre-CO2 level was slow and delayed as compared to 'a' wave. 'b' wave may therefore have a more central origin than that of 'a' wave, which finds corroboration in the results of the depth recording in this eye with the microelectrode.

3. Circadian rhythmicity in phosphorylase activity and glycogen content in the heart muscle of the scorpion, Heteromentrus fulvipes, C.L. Koch.

Author

Jayaram V, Reddy DC, and Naidu BP

Subjects
Animals, Glycogen metabolism, Myocardium metabolism, Phosphorylases metabolism, Circadian Rhythm, Scorpions physiology
Abstract

Maximal activity levels of phosphorylase A and AB at 20.00 h alternate with minimal levels at 08.00 h of the day, while the glycogen content exhibited a reverse trend in the heart of the scorpion, Heterometrus fulvipes.
