| Abstract: | 1. Effects of acute starvation on enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism were determined in rat submandibular and parotid glands. 2. Activities of glycolytic enzymes were high in submandibular gland, but those of pentose phosphate pathway and glycogen metabolism were high in parotid gland. 3. Enzyme activities were lowered by acute starvation. Refeeding the rats with solid diet restored the enzyme activities, but with liquid diet, only partial recoveries were found in submandibular gland. |
