Effect of dietary sorbitol on alkaline phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase in the mouse.
Mice fed a sorbitol-enriched diet show measurable increases of alkaline phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, and glucose-6-phosphate in the liver. The increases are positively correlated with duration of the sorbitol feeding program. The results could imply that sorbitol promotes glycogen synthesis.
