Abstract
Summary
During absorption of carbohydrate by the rat there is a significant increase of liver phosphorylase activity. When animals were adapted to high fat and high carbohydrate diets over 45 days and were then fasted 24 hours, the fat adapted rats maintained a higher level of liver phosphorylase activity. These changes in enzymatic activity would seem to be consistent with metabolic and biochemical changes which have been shown to occur as a consequence of the specific dietary composition.
