[Influence of reducing diets on the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity of the fatty tissue in patients with metabolic-alimentary obesity].

The glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase activity by the fatty tissue in patients with alimentary adiposity was studied. A well-marked fall of the activity by comparison with controls, especially in patients with hyperlipidemia, was revealed. Following treatment of the patients with reduction diets their falling body weight was paralleled by significantly rising activity of the fatty tissue G-6-P-D. Tests in vitro failed to show pyridozine and pyridoxal-6-phosphate to affect the activity of the enzyme.
