To study the effect of artemether (Art) on glucose uptake and glycogen content in schistosomes.
Schistosomes recovered from mice treated intragastrically with Art 300 mg.kg-1 for 24-48 h, were incubated in the drug-free medium containing [U-14C]glucose 11.1 MBq.L-1. The glycogen content, [U-14C]glucose uptake, and incorporation of [U-14C]glucose into worm glycogen in both male and female worms were determined.
When above-mentioned schistosomes were exposed to drug-free medium containing [U-14C]glucose for 1-24 h, the glycogen contents of male and female worms decreased 27%-61% and 39%-78%, respectively. Only 3 out of 6 male worm groups showed 23%-35% decrease in glucose uptake, while much less glucose uptake was found in female worms in all groups with reduction rates of 18%-38%. Apart from 2 male groups no apparent change in the incorporation of [U-14C]glucose into the worm glycogen was seen.
Art-induced glycogen reduction in schistosomes was related to an inhibition of glycolysis rather than an interference with glucose uptake.
研究蒿甲醚（Art）对血吸虫葡萄糖摄取及糖原含量的影响。
从经300mg·kg-1蒿甲醚灌胃处理24 - 48小时的小鼠体内获取血吸虫，将其置于含有11.1MBq·L-1 [U-14C]葡萄糖的无药培养基中孵育。测定雄虫和雌虫的糖原含量、[U-14C]葡萄糖摄取量以及[U-14C]葡萄糖掺入虫体糖原的情况。
当上述血吸虫在含有[U-14C]葡萄糖的无药培养基中暴露1 - 24小时后，雄虫和雌虫的糖原含量分别下降了27% - 61%和39% - 78%。6个雄虫组中只有3组葡萄糖摄取量下降了23% - 35%，而所有雌虫组的葡萄糖摄取量下降幅度更小，为18% - 38%。除2个雄虫组外，[U-14C]葡萄糖掺入虫体糖原未见明显变化。
蒿甲醚诱导的血吸虫糖原减少与糖酵解抑制有关，而非干扰葡萄糖摄取。
