✦ Synopsis

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 could not be correlated to the overall utilization of this sugar in the body.

## Abstract Under physiological conditions, erythrocytes of the horse metabolized 638 Β± 37 (Β± SE) nmoles glucose/ml cells/hr at 37Β°C compared to 942 Β± 31 for the cat, 1,329 Β± 44 for the dog, and 1,485 Β± 43 for man. On an absolute basis, pentose phosphate metabolism was similar between species, with
