Abstract

The activities of galactokinase, hexose-I-phosphate uridylyl transferase and UDPglucose 4-epimerase in homogenates of livers of two adult and 20 suckling tammar wallabies aged from 6 to 50 weeks were investigated. The activities of all three enzymes were high until 24-30 weeks post partum, after which they declined to low levels.
