Developmental changes in hepatic fructose 2,6-bisphosphate content and phosphofructokinase-1 activity in the transition of chicks from embryonic to neonatal nutritional environment.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Within 2 days of hatching in chicks, there are parallel increases in hepatic fructose 2,6-bisphosphate content and phosphofructokinase-1 activity. The changes observed are a consequence of feeding on the carbohydrate-rich diet of neonatal life: lack of access to food after hatching prevents changes for either parameter. The results are discussed in relation to changes in the activities of hepatic lipogenic enzymes during the embryonic/neonatal transition of chicks and the role of insulin in co-ordination of developmental processes.
