Patterns of dietary and hormonal induction of certain NADP-linked liver enzymes [PDF]
, 1964 Estrogen and thyroxine induction of hepatic hexosemonophosphate shunt and NADP-linked malic dehydrogenases was studied in rats on chow and on a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet. A different enzyme pattern resulted from treatment with each of the hormones;
