Carbohydrate metabolism in the heart of the scorpion, Heterometrus fulvipes (C. L. Koch) with reference to sex

The female scorpion has significantly lower heart rate and higher carbohydrate levels. The phosphorylase ('a') and ('ab') activity levels were higher in male heart than in female heart. The activity of succinate (SDH) and lactate (LDH) dehydrogenases were found to be higher in ma...

Zusammenfassung:The female scorpion has significantly lower heart rate and higher carbohydrate levels. The phosphorylase ('a') and ('ab') activity levels were higher in male heart than in female heart. The activity of succinate (SDH) and lactate (LDH) dehydrogenases were found to be higher in male. The metabolic differences of the cardiac muscle of the scorpion, due to sex-based heart rate are discussed.
