Uptake and incorporation of 14C-labelled carbohydrates in the tissues of the reproductive system of the female fowl.
The in vivo incorporation of radioactivity from [14C]GlcN, [14C]GalN, [14C]Glc and [14C]Gal, for different time intervals between 1 and 240 hr into whole tissues, acetone extracted tissues and MPS-P of the different parts of the reproductive system of the female fowl was studied. The incorporation of radioactivity was much more extensive when [14C]GlcN was injected than when [14C]GalN was injected. The incorporation of radioactivity was much more extensive when [14C]HexN was injected than when the corresponding [14C]Hex was injected. This difference of incorporation was greater in the MPS-P than in the fresh or acetone extracted tissues. A comparison was undertaken in the extent that radioactivity was incorporated among the different parts of the reproductive system of the fowl when [14C]HexN and 14C[Hex] were administered.
