ABSTRACT

It was found that contents of glycogen and glucose changed insignificantly in the tissues of sea scorpion and mullet kept under hypoxic conditions (30% level O₂ saturation of water) for 90 min. In sea scorpion, hypoxia combined with starvation during 12 days led to quite reliable changes in the contents of those carbohydrates. Alloxan (12.5 mg/kg) effected in hyperglycemia in blunt-snouted mullet, and it had practically no action on the same parameters of carbohydrate metabolism in sea scorpion.
