Enzymes of energy metabolism in hatchlings of amazonian freshwater turtles (Testudines, Podocnemididae)
The metabolic profiles of selected tissues were analyzed in hatchlings of the Amazonian freshwater turtles Podocnemis expansa, P. unifilis and P. sextuberculata. Metabolic design in these species was judged based on the key enzymes of energy metabolism, with special emphasis on carbohydrate, lipid,...
