Abstract
The variations in the activities of phosphoglucomutase, inorganic pyrophosphatase and uridine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase in homogenates of rat mammary glands at different stages of lactation have been studied. In each case the activity varies directly with the milk-secretory activity of the glands. The results support the postulated participation of these enzymes in lactose synthesis.Keywords
