Lipogenic hepatic enzyme activity of raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) fed various diets.
Body weight, obesity and liver weights of male raccoon dogs fed diets of various energy content were higher than those of females. With increasing body weight and obesity the liver weight and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) decreased significantly in both sexes. The liver weight correlated very positively with the G-6-PD activity. The alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPD) correlated with the liver weight only in females.
