Acetyl-CoA carboxylase activities in blood and liver of chicks and their dependency on biotin status.
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase activities from whole blood and, in some of the experiments, from liver were found to be lower in biotin-deficient chicks compared with controls. In vitro stimulation of liver acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity by biotin appeared to be a better index for the evaluation of the biotin status than measuring the enzyme activity alone.
