[Carbohydrate metabolism in sheep when adding carboxyline to their diet]

The content of glycogen and glucose, as well as aldolase, phosphofructokinase, phosphoglucomutase, glucose-6-phosphatase and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase activities in liver tissue and the same activities in skeletal muscle of sheep were determined under the influence of prolonged addition of carboxyline separately and in combination with methionine, diammonium phosphate and potassium iodine to their diet. It is established that under the influence of carboxyline the glycogen content as well as aldolase and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase activities rise significantly in the liver of the tested animals. In the skeletal muscle only aldolase activity increases.
