RESUMO
The peripheral blood cells of two West African teleosts were examined for lipids, glycogen, desoxyribonucleic acid, succinic, lactic and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenases as well as DPNH- and TPNH-diaphorases, using cytochemical staining techniques. Our results suggest that both erythrocytes and thrombocytes as well as leucocytes are highly active metabolically, as indicated by strong reactions for LDH, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, DPNH- and TPNH-diaphorases. There is no evidence for the Krebs' cycle in any of the blood cells, The nuclei of erythrocytes and thrombocytes appear to be sites of activity of 'mitochondrial' type.
