Table 2 Variation of BDH activity ratios of both directions of reaction in liver and brain under different physiological conditionn (active, prehibernating, ciprofibrate – treated prehibernating and hibernating jerboas).

From: Hibernation impact on the catalytic activities of the mitochondrial D-3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase in liver and brain tissues of jerboa (Jaculus orientalis)
