Abstract:
Studies have been made on the activity of sorbitol dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in the liver of hibernating ground squirrels. It was found that the activity of the former is an order higher than that of the latter. Contribution of sorbitol pathway in total metabolism of the glucose in hibernating ground squirrels is discussed.
