The evidence for the pathways involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates by malarial parasites is critically reviewed. In all species studied, glucose is catabolized mainly by glycolysis with little participation of the pentose-phosphate pathway. It has not been proved conclusively that there is a functioning citric acid cycle in the intraerythrocytic stages of avian plasmodia, nor is it certain that these stages of any malarial parasites use oxygen.
对疟原虫碳水化合物代谢所涉及途径的证据进行了批判性综述。在所有研究的物种中,葡萄糖主要通过糖酵解进行分解代谢,戊糖磷酸途径参与较少。尚未确凿证明禽类疟原虫红细胞内阶段存在运转的柠檬酸循环,也不确定任何疟原虫的这些阶段是否利用氧气。
