Abstract

Histochemical studies on the activities of alpha-GPDH, LDH, SDH and MDH in liver have been carried out during the different phases of tail regeneration in the lizard, Hemidactylus flaviviridis. Changes in the metabolic activities of the liver during regeneration indicate that during the initial phases of regeneration (namely, wound healing and blastema formation) the energetics of the hepatic tissue are anaerobically oriented, but later (i.e. during the growth phase) the TCA cycle appears to be predominant.
