Abstract

|
|
|
The G-6-PD (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) activity, the first step in the pentose phosphate shunt, of rat livers during prenatal and pstnatal development in different sexes was studied. The enzyme activity is very high (54.2 units) at 16 days of embryo ad then decreases to a low level (17.6 units) at 13days after birth. There are significant increase between 13 and 15 days of age and continuously increases to the level of 53.2 units at 19days of age. The G-6-PD activity in female rat livers was slightly higher than in males.
