Galactose metabolism in the red cells shows marked interspecies and even intraspecies variations. Red cells of guinea pig, dog and a group of rabbits metabolize galactose to a higher extent than those of other species, including human. In the rabbit, the difference in red cell galactokinase activity
## Abstract Under physiological conditions, erythrocytes of the horse metabolized 638 ยฑ 37 (ยฑ SE) nmoles glucose/ml cells/hr at 37ยฐC compared to 942 ยฑ 31 for the cat, 1,329 ยฑ 44 for the dog, and 1,485 ยฑ 43 for man. On an absolute basis, pentose phosphate metabolism was similar between species, with
