Abstract
Summary
The activites of the hepatic glycolytic enzymes, phosphorylase, phosphoglucomutase, and glucose-6-phosphatase were determined in normal and scorbutic guinea pigs administered acetoacetate. Scurvy caused an increase in the total available activity of glucose-6-phosphatase and a decrease in phosphorylase and phosphoglucomutase activities. Acetoacetate caused an increase in the activites of phosphorylase and glucose-6-phosphatase.
