Some Properties of Red Blood Cell Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase from three Species of Kangaroo

Abstract

Richardson and Czuppon (1969) reported a cline in red blood cell glucose-6- phosphate dehydrogenase levels in a marsupial-the wallaroo Macropu8 robustu8 Gould, 1841. High dehydrogenase levels were found in animals from the dry inland areas of Australia, while animals from the wetter eastern coastal areas had lower levels.
