Abstract
Aminotransferases (GOT and GPT) activities in the hemolymph of Bradybaena s imilaris under experimental condition of starvation were studied. At the 10 th day of starvation, GOT activity was 416.6% higher than that observed in the fed snails, being reduced and ranging values near to that shown by the control group onwards. GPT activity only varied significantly at the day-30 of starvation. The results were discussed.
