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 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
