The Relative Concentrations of Dam and Fetal Liver Glycogen*
C. B. Knodt and
W. E. Petersen
Division of Dairy Husbandry, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota
ABSTRACT
Conclusions:
- The fetus is able to maintain a much higher level of liver glycogen than that of its dam under the particular conditions encountered in these experiments.
- There appears to be an inverse relationship between the concentrations of liver glycogen and blood glucose as compared with acetone bodies between the fetus and its dam at the time of and prior to parturition.
