ARCTIC SURVIVAL RATIONS. X. DIURNAL VARIATIONS OF SOME LIVER CONSTITUENTS IN RATS FED PEMMICAN MEALS

Diurnal variations in liver glycogen content and the activities of certain liver enzymes following 2-hour feeding periods were studied in trained fed rats adapted to high-carbohydrate or carbohydrate-free diets. The results indicated that time after feeding a high-carbohydrate meal affected the acti...

Description
Summary:Diurnal variations in liver glycogen content and the activities of certain liver enzymes following 2-hour feeding periods were studied in trained fed rats adapted to high-carbohydrate or carbohydrate-free diets. The results indicated that time after feeding a high-carbohydrate meal affected the activities o-lucose-6-phosphatase and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, but not glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. These time related changes were modified by meal-feeding the carbohydrate-free diet. Glycogen deposition following a carbohydrate-free meal indicated a rapid takeover of gluconeogenesis.
