Abstract

The results of this investigation seem to confirm the hypothesis of a biochemical adaptation of smooth muscles of molluses to the degree of their activity and tissue vascularisation. A correlation exists between the activity of the muscle and its hexosamine and cytochrome oxydase contents; in general, low cytochrome oxydase activity is correlated to high hexosamine content. In all species studied, the importance of the hexosemonophosphate shunt is demonstrated.

Résumé

  1. 1.

    Le cycle de Krebs et la chaîne des cytochromes sont peu efficaces chez la majorité des espèces, exceptés les Céphalopodes (muscles de l'entonnoir et du manteau, animés de mouvements rythmiques).

  2. 2.

    La voie des pentoses est présente dans tous les muscles et en rapport avec les synthèses de lipides et de mucopolysaccharides.

  3. 3.

    La teneur en hexosamines liés aux protéines diminue lorsque l'activité cytochrome oxydase croît, o'est-à-dire lorsque ces muscles jouent un rôle plus grand dans la motricité de l'animal (Octopus) que dans sa fixation au substrat (Acanthochiton).
