title: [The detection of sorbitol dehydrogenase in the cytoplasm of liver cells in birds and its relation to alcohol dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase].
abstract: Comparative studies have been made in the specific activity of sorbitol dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate and alcohol dehydrogenases in the cytoplasm from the liver of wild and domestic ducks, hen and pheasant. High activity of all the three enzymes was found in ducks indicating the effective sorbitol (polyol) metabolism of glucose. The activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is an order lower as compared with the activity of sorbitol and alcohol dehydrogenases in the cytoplasm of hen liver. The same relationship was found for the activity of sorbitol dehydrogenase in the cytoplasm of pheasant liver.
