“…Protein use (Meenakshi, 1956) is associated with higher levels of certain enzymes in aestivating Pila globosa (Murthy et al, 1974). The transamination reactions in slugs and cockroaches (Pavan Kumar, 1976;Pavan Kumar and Sasira Babu, in press;Sasira Babu et al, 1977;Vijayalakshmi et al, 1978) are high during the animals' active phases of motor rhythm.…”

Rhythmic fluctuations in total protein and carbohydrates in the central nervous system, midgut gland, and foot muscle of Laevicaulis alte were not in phase with each other. Fluctuations were largest in the midgut gland. The occurrence of crest values during dark hours for total protein and light hours for total carbohydrates, high protein levels during the dark span and high carbohydrates during light, may be related to the animal's motor functions. Percent loss of water content was bimodal in all three tissues studied.
