(a) Glycolytic and gluconeogenic enzymes in liver of control and experimental animals. Units: Hexokinase—nmoles of glucose-phosphate liberated/min/mg protein, Phosphoglucoisomerase—nmoles of fructose liberated/min/mg protein, Phosphofructokinase—nmoles of substrate formed/min/mg protein, Aldolase—nmoles of glyceraldehyde liberated/min/mg protein, Glucose 6-phosphatase—nmoles of phosphorous liberated/min/mg protein, Fructose-1,6-diphosphatase—nmoles of phosphorous liberated/min/mg protein. Glycogen—mg/g tissue. Values are expressed as mean SD for six animals. Comparisons are made between “a”—Group II versus Group I, “b”—Group III and IV versus Group II, “c”—Group IV versus Group III, and “d”—Group V versus Group I. The symbol * represents the statistical significance at , NS—Nonsignificant. (b) Glycolytic and gluconeogenic enzymes in the kidney of control and experimental animals. Units: Hexokinase—nmoles of glucose-phosphate liberated/min/mg protein, Phosphoglucoisomerase—nmoles of fructose liberated/min/mg protein, Phosphofructokinase—nmoles of substrate formed/min/mg protein, Aldolase—nmoles of glyceraldehyde liberated/min/mg protein, Glucose 6-phosphatase—nmoles of phosphorous liberated/min/mg protein, Fructose-1,6-diphosphatase—nmoles of phosphorous liberated/min/mg protein. Glycogen—mg/g tissue.Values are expressed as mean SD for six animals. Comparisons are made between “a”—Group II versus Group I, “b”—Group III and IV versus Group II, “c”—Group IV versus Group III, and “d”—Group V versus Group I.
