Abstract:
Protein, DNA, RNA and amino acids levels were estimated in the small intestine of 3 groups (group A, infected orally each @ 500, group B @ 1000 and group C @ 2000 larvae of Ancylostoma caninum) of male swiss albino mice. Significant increase of protein, DNA, RNA and amino acids was found in all the infected groups of mice when compared to uninfected controls. The synthesis and/or release of these biochemical constituents was influenced by the host parasite interaction
Keywords:
Ancylostoma caninum larvae, mice, small intestine, protein, DNA, RNA, amino acids.
