TI  - Changes in activities of enzymes related to energy metabolism in peripheral 
      leukocytes of fattening steers.
PG  - 19-26
AB  - Glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol and immunoreactive insulin (IRI) 
      concentrations, some enzyme activities in plasma, and activities of enzymes 
      related to energy metabolism in peripheral leukocytes were measured in fattening 
      Japanese Black Wagyu x Holstein steers fed on different diets at 8, 12, 16, 20 
      and 24 months of age. The plasma IRI concentrations at 20 and 24 months of age 
      were significantly higher than those at 8 months of age. Activities of hexokinase 
      (HK), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), 
      and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) in cytosolic fractions, and glutamate 
      dehydrogenase (GLDH), MDH and AST in mitochondrial fractions in peripheral 
      leukocytes of steers at 24 months of age were significantly higher than those at 
      8 months. Increasing plasma insulin concentration was considered to induce 
      acceleration of glucose utilization in leukocytes of fattening steers. The 
      cytosolic ratio of MDH/lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in leukocytes 
      increased significantly in the fattening process and was considered to be a 
      useful indicator for evaluating changes in energy metabolism in steers.
