[Activity of hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in hemopoietic cells of the bone marrow in normal rabbits and after hydrocortisone administration during starvation and alloxan diabetes].

Activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in haematopoietic cells of bone marrow of rabbits was not affected during insular deficiency induced by starvation or alloxan diabetes as well as after intramuscular hydrocortisone administration. It is suggested that slight decrease in the activity of hexokinase detected during starvation and hydrocortisone administration might be accounted for by the presence of mature leukocytes in the population of isolated myelokaryocytes.
