Abstract

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) activity in the rabbit liver is significantly higher in January–April than in May–July. G6PDH activity in the liver is definitely lowered after a single injection of 25 mg/kg hydrocortisone and after repeated injections of the hormone in January–April but is unchanged in May–July. The activity of hexokinase, G6PDH, and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase in the adipose tissue of rabbits is unchanged after repeated injections of hydrocortisone.
