SummaryGlucose-6-phosphatase activity was estimated in various sheep tissues. It was appreciable in liver and kidney, detectable in intestine and salivary gland, but negligible in brain, muscle, stomach, rumen epithelium and mammary gland. The results suggest the relative importance of these tissues in contributing glucose to the blood in sheep. They indicate particularly the relatively small potential role of sheep intestinal wall as a source of blood glucose.
Raggi et al. (1960) studied this question.
