| comparative erythrocyte metabolism in marsupials and monotremes. | concentrations of atp and dpg, activities of 10 enzymes and the glycolytic rates were measured in the erythrocytes of 11 species of marsupials and two species of monotremes. mean dpg concentrations were greater in the erythrocytes of marsupials than those of eutherian mammals. the opposite is true of atp. significant findings from the results of enzyme activities were: high activity of hexokinase (7.39 +/- 0.82 eu/g hb) in the short-beaked echidna, pyruvate kinase (37.49 +/- 1.0 eu/g) hb in brid ... | 1995 | 7599974 |
