[Changes in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in rabbits with a limited mobility and an excess sacharose consumption]

Under restricted motor activity an excess of the introduced saccharose is used not for replenishment of the spent energy which, judging by the glycolysis level, was less marked than in controls, but rather for maintaining the synthetic processes, being, first of all, incorporated in glucose-aminoglycanes. At the same time, the activity of the pentophosphate way of the carbohydrates assimilation increased in the brain, liver and heart and in consequence of this the cholesterol and triglycerides content rose in the blood serum and liver. The triglycerides concentration in the aorta proved to be lowered.
