title: Physiology of parasites: transaminases (GOT and GPT) in the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne lucknowica Singh 1969, and effect of sex on its enzyme levels.
abstract: The glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT) activity was found to be greater than the glutamicoxalacetic transaminase (GOT) activity in the mixed as well as in separate sexes of M. lucknowica. The sexual differences were 44.26% in GOT levels and 41.8% in GPT levels of the two sexes of the parasite, and the females showed higher enzymatic activity than their males.
