Abstract

1. 1. Ligation of Fasciola or Fascioloides did not affect the 2-min absorption of 14C-cycloleucine. 2. 2. Absorption of cycloleucine, arginine, proline or methionine was a linear function of concentration and competitions were not demonstrable. Amino acids entered the tegument by diffusion. 3. 3. Efflux experiments indicated that cycloleucine may be accumulated in an inner “compartment” in Fasciola. 4. 4. Four hours after administration of 14C-cycloleucine to infected hosts, the amino acid was equally distributed in tissue water of host blood and Fasciola.
