The authors studied the regional localization of two dehydrogenases--glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase--in the telencephalic nuclei and fibre tracts of Barilius bendelisis by histoenzymological methods. The activity of these dehydrogenases varied from moderately positive to strongly positive in the nuclear areas and from intensely to strongly positive in the fibre tracts, except those related to the olfactory tubercle. G3PD appears to play an important role in the biosyntheses of phospholipids and to form a link between glycolysis and the pathway of the hexose-monophosphate shunt, in addition to its usual role in the degradation of glucose, along with other dehydrogenases, including succinate dehydrogenase.
