The postnatal maturation of glucose-6-phosphate and β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase
activity was assessed by histochemistry in rats at eight postnatal stages, P0, P5, P10, P14,
P17, P21, P35 and the adult stage. Enzyme activities were revealed on cryostat brain
sections with nitroblue tetrazolium. Both enzyme activities were low and homogenous at
birth, and increased to reach a peak in all areas studied, at P17 for β-hydroxybutyrate
dehydrogenase and at P21 for glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Then, glucose-6 …
