Abstract
To live in a changing environment requires the ability to adapt. In its day to day existence an animal encounters variation in environmental stresses, in activity requirements, and in type and amount of food intake. To meet an animal’s needs in its current situation, the flow of nutrients through its metabolic pathways must be subject to regulation. One of the primary means of controlling the disposition of nutrients is the regulation of enzyme activities.
