[Activities of hepatic ATP-citrate lyase and acetyl CoA carboxylase in herbivorous voles and C57BL/6J mice].
Activities of hepatic ATP-citrate lyase and acetyl CoA carboxylase, lipogenetic key enzymes, were measured in herbivorous voles and C57BL/6J mice. Hepatic ATP citrate lyase and acetyl CoA carboxylase activities in voles were very low, under one fifth and one half of those in C57BL/6J mice, respectively. It is considered to be one of characteristics as a herbivore that hepatic lipogenetic ability in voles is considerably low as compared to that in mice.
