TL;DR: Pairs of adult Schistosoma mansoni were collected by perfusion of the mesenteric veins of experimentally infected hamsters which were anaesthetized with ether and calculated that under aerobic conditions at least one third of the energy production of adult schistosomes occurs in aerobic processes.

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that S. mansoni sporocysts are facultative anaerobes, fully equipped to adjust their energy metabolism to the variable conditions inside their intermediate host, the snail, and that under anaerobic conditions they switch towards lactate and succinate production.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the biological transformation from cercaria to schistosomulum and the biochemical transition from an aerobic to an anaerobic energy metabolism are separate processes, which are not necessarily linked.

TL;DR: This work investigates possible metabolic control mechanisms of fat mobilization in bovine adipose tissue and the effects of volatile fatty acids on the rate of lipolysis in adipose tissues either from monogastric mammals or from ruminants.

TL;DR: The accumulation of carnitine esters of C6-C14 intermediates can quantitatively explain the high specific activity of the acetyl-CoA pool during the state-4 oxidation of [1(-14)C] palmitate.
