Biochemical Changes in Avian Tissues during the Incubation Period of Disease: The Bioenergetics of Infection.

Abstract

Bioenergetics of malaria and Newcastle disease were studied in chicks and encephalomyocarditis in rats. These infections were interacted with voluntary activity and/or different sources of energy. In incubation stage of each infection there was a significant retention of energy-yielding nutrients; energy demand correlated with level of infection imposed. Dietary sucrose resulted in increased activity in control and infected chicks compared to glucose as energy source. (Author)
